DCI - my sunday

Well Sunday I did not stay home... first time... in oh I don't even know... Let's just say it's been a really long time. So I went with a friend I hadn't seen in a while it was like a field show... It's actually called DCI (Drum Corp International) and I had never been... actually the three of us that went, it was out first experience watching it. It's a field show that doesn't contain all the instruments but has a pit (drums on the sideline), Drum line and brass winds (Contras (like tuba) , baritones, and trumpets) so you can imagine the sound spectacular. I love the sound of brass well I mean I love music in general but this was a real treat. 
we saw 11 groups I believe I don't know the names... And well when we got there tickets to the main seating were sold out so we got the back end... so they had they backs to us... I mean it was still a great experience and the sound.. O-M-G... it's one of those you have to be there to actually get a feel of it... And even when you're there, there is so much to take in... so much movement, music... yea, it was exciting indeed....  Even capturing some of it on video is still not enough... well I mean especially since we were in the back and small bleachers so we couldn't see all the figures they formed...

I had this amazing smoothie

It was so good but I started eating the pineapple and after about halfway through I felt like my lips were on fire... Every time I would  bite into it felt like alcohol being poured onto my lips but it was so wroth it. 
 Good times!!
