It was finally here, three months of hard work, 12-hour practices, too many performances to count and now we are at the day of Finals. Journey along with the young men and women of the 1994 Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps. Experience the Drum Corps International Summer Music Games and the intense preparations it took to arrive there. Become a part of the action, stand on the field and learn what this life is really like in a drum & bugle corps on tour.
