Drum Line

My daughter, Darci, plays the keyboard for the drum line.
I was able to go with them this weekend as they competed in Dayton, Ohio in the World Scholastic Drum line Competition.
It was tiring and those kids worked so hard and I never heard one of the complain.
As you can see , we are practicing outside.
They would pull over the truck, Unload the instruments, and practice for two hours.
This picture was taken in front of Sam's in Dayton.
We were not the only drum line group out there practicing, it was awesome.

These kids competed three times but practiced at least 4-5 hours a day.
They also practice two hours three days a week.
It amazes me the dedication and talent these kids have.

Their program was called "The Voices Made Me do It"
It was a story about a girl that was overcome by voices and then she finally gives in.
They have special costumes, paint the mat, make back drops and they write their own music.

They got 11th of about 60 groups in the nation.
I was very proud of them and of my daughter.
Way to go Darci!
