Before you read put this clip from YouTube on to set the mood for reading the blog.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4huZYzOD8QSo today reality just hit me... This summer I will NOT be marching drum corps, I will NOT be aging out, I will NOT be marching with my "family", etc.
I know I realized this before, but after watching some YouTube clips just now I realize what I am truly going to miss. This might seem cliche, but I would give anything to march my last year! For those who are reading and asking why I don't just go out and do it, I need to fulfill a requirement for my major (an internship) to be able to graduate next spring.
It is like a weird circumstance that happens in a movie. Maybe I will have a happy ending. All I know is that this summer instead of being with a corps, spending countless hours in the sun running set after set, having bluster, bruises and bumps, sleeping on gym floors and buses and having the best summer of my life traveling the U.S. that I will be here in Indiana doing an internship.
However, I am not going to let this get me down. I may not be able to march my age out, but I am going to be a part of a corps, either through volunteering, working for one or my dream: to start my own corps here in Indiana. I just have to keep things positive and always know that I found my love and passion and it will never leave me.
