Saturday, July 20th
Today I got going fairly early and worked on some projects for a couple of customers, while Tony prepared for his convention, and mostly took it easy. About 2:30 we stopped to head over to the Alamodome for the Drum Corps International (DCI) Southwest Regional Championship. Corps were performing in a variety of classes throughout the day, but we opted to go in time to see the Colts perform... It was their 50 year anniversary, and Tony is an alumni.
The parking is terrible at the Alamodome, because there are so many corps there, they fill up over half of it with busses and equipment semis. We ended up parking in a vacant lot a few blocks away for $10, but that's the way it goes.
We got in and settled in our seats and had a great time enjoying the shows. DCI always helps get us in the "marching season" mood! The best part is that we get to watch in air-conditioned comfort, as opposed to the days watching a much smaller event at my former HS stadium in Dallas in the scorching July heat.
Here are a few pics:
