N2DWW@A: DCI Finals

This week is “Nats Week” for Drum Corps International. Tonight is “Semi-Finals” which followed “Quasi-Finals” last night, which in turn followed “Pseudo-Finals” the night before. It’s all just a big hypefest to “Finals” tomorrow night…

Since I’m posting this on Friday, it’s already too late to check out your local theater to watch “1/4-Finals” live… but I think there is maybe live streaming of Semi’s tonight. I’m not really sure since I’m writing this entry 9 weeks ahead of time…

I’ll be rooting for the Blue Devils from Concord, California because I bleed blue. No, check that, I do indeed bleed red. Ow… that uh, can someone grab me some gauze? Maybe some of that stuff you… Oh God, it’s just pouring out.

Sorry about that, had to do the whole tourniquet made from a strip of material ripped off of my shirt thing.

If you don’t know what drum corps is, well, too bad. I won’t explain it here. But here’s a visual aide.

Mmmm, drumsticks....

So that’s what’s up in my world this week. For actual informed and current information about DCI Finals, check out my tweets.
