It’s only November (and I know I’m a little late reporting this), but guys…
I am SO excited for the 2013 DCI Season.
I start getting excited when audition season rolls around, but there’s a specific point when I break out the ol’ trumpet (Get it?) to herald the coming of a new, and even more epic, DCI season.
