August 1 - Free Day in New York City

Free day in New York City. The corps took a well deserved day off and spent 8 hours in "The Big Apple". Shopping and sightseeing - Central Park, SoHo, Times Square, Rockerfeller Center, Yankee Stadium, Staten Island Ferry and the like. Several corps members and staff took in Broadway shows including "In The Heights" and "Next to Normal". Getting in and out of Times Square was a bit of a challenge for our bus drivers, but our drop off and pick up occurred without incident.

While many members and staff spent time shopping, fortunately no one bought a watch from a street corner vendor, as has been the case in the past; these watches usually stop running before the end of DCI week!

The corps is now in Canton OH, with a rehearsal day today on Sunday the 2nd, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame Festival show inn Massillon OH. After that, off to Avon IN where we will be housed during DCI week.
