Played snare back in the day, and was a pretty solid player, but didn't stick with it long enough to sniff DCI. A few of my more dedicated friends on the line eventually marched with Music City Mystique, an indoor corps out of Nashville. They were pretty damn impressive when they were hitting on all cylinders.

I used to really dig going to DCI events. Last one I saw live was in the early aughts in Murfreesboro, TN. The Blue Devils snares always blew my mind.

Alas, all that remains of my musical past is my drum set, which my 2 toddlers play more than I do, and my drum pad and marching sticks, which I manage to fiddle with just enough to annoy my wife.
