Bloooooooooo!

Many of you probably don't know that my husband and I are long-time followers of drum and bugle corps, known as DCI.  Drum Corps are made up of young people, musicians and color guard, who are 21 years old and younger, and their seasons are roughly from April to early August.  We are fortunate to have a corps that calls our hometown its hometown, the Canton Bluecoats.  This year their show is featuring music from the Beatles and as of this writing they are in first place in the rankings, and will hopefully cement that over the next few days as they compete in the Finals in Indianapolis this weekend.

Their music is uplifting and their costumes are bright and happy.  I tried to capture that in my card today, after seeing the Bluecoats perform here last night.  Here's my love letter to them.

The musicians are dressed in various bright blue prints, and the color guard in shades of yellow, gold, orange.  The conductors and a few of the color guard wear various black and white prints throughout the show.

Here's a closer shot to show you that I used some glitter paper here and there across my card (on a few flowers) to capture the sparkle that those uniforms give off under the stadium lights!

If you're interested, here are a few links to get to know our Bluecoats better:

and some YouTube videos

If you're ever able to catch ANY drum corps show, I'd highly recommend it!  And if you hear the crowd yelling "Blooooooooo", you'll know the Blucoats are part of the show!  

Thanks for indulging me today!
