“I love band bus one. It’s like a big party. I wonder what they do on bus two……knit?”
-Me :)
Surprisingly, in our bus two, we either sleep, eat, talk, or drum. Not much craziness happens in the drummers’ bus. Bus three is more of the party bus, and bus one is the… girly bus? I don’t know what guard does, so I...

My mom just asked me why I like drum corps.
drumtheworld:
sweetlydissonant:
I HAVE TO LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE AS HER
My mom’s like that too. :l
I had to explain that until they came to a show with me. Then my very-unmusical father (I mean that as a compliment ;) ) came to the show and fell in love with the activity and now references me doing drum corps in the future during the summer!

I'd love another chance...
mercicherie:
…to don that maroon and black uniform; to straighten out that silvery cape; and to call my band to attention like it’s the last time I’ll ever do it.
I miss stepping onto that platform and watching hundreds of hours of hard work come alive right before my very eyes, non-verbally dictating every position where every individual on that field is supposed to be.
Marching Band. My safe...
So I get back from All-State Band, and suddenly I have 200+ followers? Come on guys! I was going to do an awesome announcement/celebration/dance thing at 200! ;)

fiftywingsanote asked: That DCI internship post? You totally just saved my Summer! Definitely applying (: Do you know if we actually need DCI experience (yeah, might sound like a ridiculous question to you, but I'm totally clueless)? Thanks!
Chaperone liked my music pajamas. Win.

All state rehearsals are done. Face hurts. Writing in short sentences. Hotel room check. Tired. Going to sleep. Dreaming of what a genius (and a nut) Percy Grainger was. Dreaming of Holst 1st suite.
All-State lunch over.
More rehearsal! Yay!

Hyperbole and a Half: The Scariest Story
HYPERBOLE AND A HALF
If you don’t read this blog, you have to, because it is amazing and never fails to have been literally “lol”ing much to the dismay of all those around me.

Who inspires you?
alwaysmore:
When I was in middle school, I was asked to write an essay on someone who had inspired me. I was an overachiever, so I didn’t want to do something “boring.” I thought for days about who I could write about. Not my grandma or grandpa or aunt or uncle. Not a friend or a sports star or the president. And definitely not my parents. But when I decided, I knew I’d picked the perfect...
