Hopefully, rookies are reading this!
Show band is something that has come from an organization called DCI, Drum Corps International. They are professional brass-only marching bands from all around the country that compete for the summer. A lot of our kids at Kamiak actually march in the Oregon Crusaders, or OC, over the summer before our season kicks off!
Watching a couple of DCI shows can give you an idea of what to kind of expect. Or you could even watch a couple of our shows, the link to our YouTube page is:

Check it out!
But...there's a great opportunity for you to see some DCI shows over the summer...lucky you!
The first is on June 18th, the day before Spring Band Camp starts. Perfect timing right?!
That day the DCI Movie is going to be playing at theaters all over, and hopefully one nearby will be playing it, so you can check it out! A bunch of the bands will be revealing their shows. It will be at 6:30. Visit the DCI web page below to get some more info:

Another chance is on June 30th when DCI comes to Seattle! Well, Renton. DCI bands will be performing starting at 7 pm. Here's the website to check out:

AND THEN, this is the most exciting one yet, on AUGUST 8th, just before the start of band camp (!) DCI World Championship Pre-lims will be in theaters!!! It's as close as you can get to being a part of the action without actually being there. You should definitely check it out. The website is the same as the other movie above.
Anyway...hope you can check out at least one of these events. Just know that all the other band members will be trying their hardest to make it there too!
Excited for band camp,
Emma
