I took Grayson to his first drum & bugle corps show last night - we met my college roommate Bryan Dickerson in Mesquite for the 31st North Texas Festival of Drums & Bugles (affectionately referred to as "Lake Highlands" since until this year that's where it was always held). http://www.dallasdci.com/
There were ten corps there, and I was happy to see that Grayson's favorite was mine, the Concord Blue Devils. We didn't stay for the scores to be announced, but I read this morning that BD won with a 90.40, beating the Cadets and Phantom Regiment. Carolina Crown, which we particularly enjoyed, placed fourth, followed by Blue Knights, Colts, Crossmen (another good one) Mandarins and Southwind. Frontier, a senior corps from Dallas, also performed.
