subject: the rush
this is just me and my words, no fowarding crap at all, just me wanting to talk, maybe to hear myself talk, i dunno. but i miss marching drumline, i really do. i miss the rush of it, like practicing, getting down a challenging part, right before performances and competitions, and all that kind of stuff. i may not know how to do too much, but i know how to drum, my hands know how to drum, and though i still play the drumset, it’s just not the same. man, just to be able to step out on a field with a drum on and play my heart out so hard that i just leave it all on the field, would be one fulfilling memory, maybe one day i will, maybe even with the people i’ve played with before, like nikki, ivan, jd, ant-ho, john, jenn, wyndi, frank, musquez, even omero (rookie), and the rest would be an honor. well i’m done ranting on, but one more thing, try your hardest not to let go of something that means as much to you as drumming means to me, it’s kinda hard to replace it. well, have fun, yall, see ya!

This is the reason I teach. Introducing people to that feeling that I still have. I still march drumline for the San Francisco Renegades. I also still practice every single day. I have to agree with Jared…if you have this feeling, don’t ever let it go.
