Drumline in January

The title and image really speak for themselves... and yes, that picture was taken today. Typically this time of year, snow has been falling for at least a month and the tiresome winter is bearing down on us. Unseasonably warm this year, Iowa has hardly seen any snow and what better way to celebrate an afternoon high of 51 degrees than to get outside and beat on some drums. The drumline season generally starts when the snow melts in early spring and hits a peak during the summer. That will likely remain true for this year as well, but they enjoyed the weather on January 9 with light jackets and drum sticks.
