Default Scraping/grinding

Hi guys - thanks in advance for your help.
2014 C7/Z51 with everything - 12G miles

Garaged all winter it went to the dealer for its's spring service (new oil, lube, etc.) on Thursday. Drove fine before and after the service in heavy rain.
Today (Monday) in beautiful weather I took it to the detail shop to have a spring cleaning. Car looked and drove great.
Later in the afternoon I took the car out again and it started making horrible (and loud) scraping (grinding) sounds. I have no mechanical aptitude and can't describe the noise better than that - but it's real and very not right.
Can anyone give me an idea of what to tell the dealer when I show up at his door tomorrow morning?

You may have pick up a stone which has lodged itself between your brake calliper and the brake disk. I had this exact happening and it happened in the early spring time when the roads were full of winter debri.
