Whilst watching the recruitment video this year, I saw that our photographer got a shot of me (middle) walking with two of our drum majors. I am not, not have I ever been a drum major, but once I was injured and unable to march for the rest of the season, I was given the opportunity to be a field conductor, and I will always be thankful that I was allowed to me on the field with my family on that field at Lucas Oil. #DCI #2012 #Academy #theeffortistheprize

The colder it gets, the more I really feel the damage that drum corps has done to my knees.

Won’t stop be from going back once my stress fracture is healed.

This just made me really emotional

Look, I drum corps’d this summer. Also, my uniform was way too big on me for most of tour~

Season ended. 

It’s a shitty feeling. But like our visual caption head said, you just have to know when your body is saying no.

It sucks, and I’d rather be marching, but I’d also like to be able to come back and be physically able to match again in the future.

They have a vet coming in fill my spot, so that’s good. And they’re talking about giving me a side field conductor spot, which I will gladly take.

Just taking some time to cope.

So, I always knew our snare tech’s name was Drew, but I found out about a week ago (should have probably put two and two together) that he’s Drew Guy.

And now I feel a bit star struck every time I see him because I mean, come on. He’s like a legend.

One of the pit kids just told me that I limp when I march.

GDI I THOUGHT I WAS DOING OKAY AT HIDING IT

My bus is broken down.

Again.

In the middle of nowhere Oklahoma.

On a show day.

Again.

So, two members of Teal joined us today.

I’m still so sad about Teal, but I’m really, really glad they’re here.

So it’s day nine of tour and I’ve been sick for eight of those days. I’m actually going to urgent care today which is something I probably should have done days ago.

I really wanted to march tonight, but I doubt that’s happening.
