Sorry to get off topic, but that's what us Guardians do, right? I just wanted to share my excitement with you all...
I was busy watching the Drum Corps International finals the last three days. They start early in the morning and run late into the evening, with over 42 corps competing from across the nation, and members from around the world. I'm happy to report that the Sacramento Mandarins finished in 10th place with a score of 90 points, their highest ever. Plus, they were only a half point away from 8th. The three corps in 8th, 9th, and 10th battled it out all Summer. I'm super proud of my son and the whole corps achievements, it was the most competitive year ever. He even got a couple of job offers, one to teach marching at one of our biggest high schools in the area, and one to be a brass instructor for one of the DCI Open Class corps next Summer.
