Next on my list of artistic experiences which have moved me is the performance of Blast. The concept of Bla
st originated from the drum and bugle corp, Star of Indiana. Star of Indiana was an 128-member unit of horns and drums that competed within Drum Corp International. While competing in DCI, the Star of Indiana won the World Championship in 1991. After the 1993 season, the Star began performing the same type of artistry, but moved the show indoors. Blast was released on Broadway and then began touring to theatres across America. This video gives an idea of a field show performance of the Star of Indiana. Blast retains the artistry of the instrumental music and outdoor pagentry, but moves the performance into a theatrical setting.

One of our favorite family activities is to attend Drum Beauty in Stillwater, MN, each summer. This is a DCI competitive event. One of our favorite drum and bugle corps to watch is the Phantom Regiment.
I have a few more experiences to share, and then I will post about what I feel each of these artistic works have in common -- excellence.
