July 11th, was the Drum and Bugle Corps competition held at Mile High Stadium. 66 or so NHBCOS band members gathered together for a bus ride and a stop at Country Buffet before the big event. The music, drums, precision marching, flags, and dancers were beyond amazing! 11 Bands competed, and brought glorious entertainment to our eyes and ears. The Drum and Bugle Corps are young musicians and dancers between the age of 17 to 22 years of age.
