Anyone familiar with Drum & Bugle corps? (DCI)

Hello everyone!  So I'm partiting in the crazy activity called DCI (Drum Corps International) which is basically the NFL of marching band. 

I'll be touring the country rehearsing and performing shows every day of the summer with a drum corps called The Cavaliers.  It's a non-stop tour that starts and ends in Indianapolis (final championships at Lucas oil stadium) going through Denver and even Texas.  Needless to say, I'm more than excited to take part in it ( even though I'll be sleeping on an air mattress for the summer haha).  I'll probably be on a brief break from the forum since I'll be traveling.

If you're interested, there's a link to The Cavaliers tour below.  Each drum corps tour is slightly different.

That's pretty cool. Having zero musical talent myself, I really admire anyone who can do this sort of thing.

Welp, I leave tomorrow everyone.  I won't really have access to electronics so I'll be taking a brief hiatus (until mid-August) from the forum.  I'll be living at Benedictine University in Lisle, Illinois for the next month for spring training.  Then, my tour will start mid-June.  Peace!
