DCI Quarterfinals

Last night, the DCI Quarterfinals were held in Indianapolis, Indiana...and they were broadcasted live across the country in some 500 theaters.

IT. WAS. AWESOME.

The DCI show at the IMAX has always been one of my favorite things to go and watch, and this year was extra exciting cause I knew someone in one of the top corps! It is the most amazing feeling watching your boyfriend's corp perform and knowing that he's in there somewhere...on the movie screen. There's no way to describe what it feels like, so if you're curious, grab yourself a boyfriend (or girlfriend) and ship them off to drum corps for the summer and you'll get what I mean. You'll also have a 90-day drought of not seeing them...but it's all worth it!

Starting with the Madison Scouts and all the corps after, the shows were phenomenal...but my favorite of the night was the Bluecoats. Yes, I'm slightly biased that's the show David's in...BUT. Before last night, their show wasn't my favorite one of the season. Cavalier's "XtraordinarY" was. But something about the Bluecoats' sound, drill, and music last night just all made sense...like I feel like I finally GOT the show. And oh my word...I still can't get over their opener (WHICH IS THE BEST ONE OF THE SEASON BY FAR)...the way they build up "Creep" with the horns and then the big impact and the drill they have and the choreography...WOO!!!! So insanely good.

If you haven't heard it, click on this link right now please. And if you HAVE heard it...click too. This clip shows them singing it first and then playing it...goose bumps all around. PLUS...you can kinda see David! At 0:27 the camera moves and shows the guys standing in the back line...David's the fourth one in. You can see the side of his head...haha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERsHSrT9RVg
