McKinney will host its second Drum Corps International show on Tuesday night.
“The heat has been kind of crazy, but I’m a fan of Texas heat because it’s not as swampy and wet – at least in my experience,” said drummer and McKinney High grad Aiden Hatcher.
The performers, ages 18 to 22, and drum corps leaders live the summer on the road, eating and sleeping on buses. “The tour goes. We are in a new town every single day,” said Mike Gough with The Troopers Drum Corps out of Wyoming. “Ten percent of this is performance and the cheers and ninety percent of this is sweat.”
Each performance allows the group to show off their skills, while also learning life lessons about teamwork and perseverance. “We all have to work together as a unit and it’s so special when you come together and finally hit that moment,” Hatcher said.
