XAntX is going on tour!

So some of the GC regulars saw, but I got an internship working with the Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps. To save explaining what exactly a drum corps is, here is this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_an...corps_(modern)

My position with the Bluecoats is an Administrative Intern, which is responsible for helping with food shopping and preparation, driving members and staff to the airport and hospital if need be, and any miscellaneous needs of the corps. I'll be spending May and early June in the Canton, Ohio area, and then hitting the road after that. I'm including a schedule of where the corps is performing throughout the summer. PM me if you can make a show and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you. Worst case scenario my fraternity's name can be used as a call.

Just kidding. Are you going to UNT and SMU? Or is this non-collegiate?

It is non-collegiate, but seeing as the shows are done on football fields, I would suppose they would be there. I'm 90% sure the Denton show is at UNT

My section leader freshman year of high school was in the pit for the Bluecoats for a few years. Awesome corps, great opportunity! Have fun!

But yeah, touring life for a member is a little like summer vacation when you are in middle school. No concept of time, it's just time passing indiscriminately by. You're cut off from the real world, and your life revolves around high school gyms, fields, and busses.

Cool Maybe I can make a Michigan show. I don't know any Lakeshoremen anymore though. They all got old!

Also, the last Dallas one was at a high school. Just random info.

Also, come to the other side of Michigan!!! D: D: D:

I guess I'll just have to come to Texas. *taking the DART train with k_s*

Wishing you the best of weather during the schedule, XAntX.

Moons ago, I always knew it was time to return to college when our local PBS station aired the yearly drum-and-bugle competitions. California teams with many props often won.
