Thanks to my brother, Roger, we went to see the 2009 Drum Corps International Open Class World Championship Quarterfinals in Michigan City last night. These young people are fantastic and we watched a terrific competition. If you like Drum and Bugle Corps, Drum Corps International is the organization to watch. The groups were from Oregon, California, Ohio, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticut, Iowa, Michigan, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Texas and Georgia. DCI started competitions in June and the events will end this weekend in Indianapolis with the final championships.

Because of a cool breeze coming off of Lake Michigan, Char and I left prior to the end of the competition. We had a great time.
