and a great time was had by all
Jul. 19th, 2011 08:52 amLast night, I got to take the two older girls to see Brass Impact, a Drum Corps International competition event. OMG, it was so awesome I almost died. Our seats were pretty darn good, we were able to find PB's friend for after-show visiting, and we had some breezes in the shade most of the time. Also, caramel popcorn.
They were throwing! sabers! And there were metaphorical angels and demons and vampires! Also the French Revolution. And then some things I didn't quite understand but which involved terribly mod moving structures on the field. One of the groups did a version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that had most of the folks in my section in tears. Did I mention the sabers?
The drum majors were so adorably SERIOUS.
This was pretty epic stuff. I lost count of the number of times I got goosebumps from the BIG SOUND and the drumming drums. So. Much. Fun. If I could view/post video at the office I'd totally be spamming you all with YouTube today.
