2009 DCI Finals Activities and Pictures

Well, here it is spring time of 2010 and the new season of Drum Corps is rapidly approaching. Thought it was time to finally post my last batch of pictures from finals week. Along with the regular daily rehearsals, there were the Individual and Ensemble performance competitions, the annual awards dinner, and of course the infamous Final Run-Through.

Then, after the quarter and semi-finals, the Big Show on Saturday night. What an awesome performance by an amazing group of young people. The world is in good hands my friends.

The parking lot goodbyes are both heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time. Needless to say, if you haven't managed to make it to a finals, you are missing one of lifes most rewarding experiences.

The difficult good-byes aren't just among the members either. Staff and volunteers alike forge friendships and bonds during the summer that will endure for a lifetime.

I feel honored and privileged to have been a small part of this season, and delighted to have been able to share some of its moments with all who arrive at this site.

Hope to see you all again this summer!

2010 postings with camp pictures and commentary will begin in a few days.
