On Sunday, July 28th (the day before band camp starts), I am organizing an optional field trip to Winston Salem, NC to go see the best marching bands in the world! I am not kidding…Drum & Bugle Corps (DCI) is essentially professional marching band and the performances are simply amazing…Check out the Bluecoats from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e830sfK33g&t=17s
If you are interested in going, you will need to purchase a ticket online. I have already purchased a seat (Section 9, Seat EE-19) in an area that still has open seats around it. These are the cheapest tickets available at $25.00 with a $5.00 convenience fee when purchasing online. (You are welcome to purchase a seat wherever you want, but I would prefer that we be able to experience the shows together!) The seats are actually not that bad, because the stadium seating is curved. This show has become very popular, so I don't want to count on being able to get tickets when we get there. Alumni and Parents Invited! Go here for additional information about the show: http://carolinacrown.org/index.php/new-nightbeat-site
The plan is to depart from Riverside at 2:30pm on Sunday, July 28th and we would be getting back late around 12:00am. I have attached a more detailed itinerary and directions to this message. I do have 6 spots open in my van for students. Let me know if you would like transportation to the event! It will be first come, first serve for the "MannBandVan". If you are able to drive for the event, please let me know! Concessions are very expensive, so I would recommend bringing atleast $20 to make sure you have enough money.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this opportunity. Please let me know ASAP if you have purchased a ticket and need a ride, so that I can make sure everybody has a way to get to BB&T Field over in Winston Salem. This will be our fourth year taking the trip and I can't think of a better way to get ready for marching season!
