That’s Jordan Brooks in the middle.
Lake Highlands will be alive with the sound of music Tuesday night as the 37th Annual North Texas Festival of Drums and Bugles rolls in to Wildcat/Ram Stadium for their world-class show. The competition is part of the Drum Corps International (DCI) nationwide summer tour, and Lake Highlands’ own Jordan Brooks will be participating.
“If you’ve never seen a drum corps show before, I strongly encourage you to come check it out,” said Jordan, an LHHS 2010 grad, in a Facebook message inviting friends and neighbors. Jordan, now a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston, is a member of the Santa Clara Vangard drum line. Santa Clara, favored to win the contest, is last on the bill and will close out the show.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, but gates open at 4:30 and squads will start warming up at 6:30. Jordan’s group goes on at 8:55.
Tickets can be purchased by calling 317-275-1212, but hurry. This event is a traditional sellout. Prices range from $30 to $50 and benefit LH Area Bands.
