Walking by UCLA Medical Center, where both our kids were born. Much appreciation for the staff, nurses, and doctors that work here and continue to take such great care of us!
Good morning, who’s ready to crush this week? #santamonica
The first time I saw drum corps, I remember it was the little things that blew me away. • Everything from how the players brought their sticks out, to how they set their drums down during water break - a blinding attention to detail was apparent in every aspect of the work. The precision went well beyond the music and drill, permeating every move, thought and breath. One thing that struck me was even how their hats came off at the end of the show: in succession, revealing the seemingly god-like personas hidden under the hats as actual people. This was the first inkling that, “hey, maybe it’s possible for me to do that someday as well.” A few years later, I was standing in the line, taking off my aussie, just as I’d seen the lines I admired before me do so. With all the #dci2018 photos floating around this week, I’ve been seeing stories of how others were inspired as well. What’s your story? What did you first see that really blew you away? Good luck to all the performers and teachers tonight - continue to inspire and be inspired! — Pictured here: @thecavaliers 2003, Houston Show, 5 West Side snares, plus 2 more on the East side, for total 7 TX snares that year. “March first to honor those who came before you. March second for those whose path you are paving today. March third for those at your side this season. March last for yourself.”
I spent my first year of drum corps in “survival mode.” • You play music harder than you’ve ever played, moving faster than you’ve ever moved. You spend 3 months pushing yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally beyond what you previously thought capable. The self-discovery comes mostly from a place of discomfort, and you learn to relish in that discomfort as a breeding ground for personal growth. You often hear alumni of the #dci activity talk about the bonds of friendship and family that come from a summer tour. It’s because few know you better - from the values, behaviors, language food, and experiences - than your family. They’re the ones that you lean on in times of struggle and celebrate with in moments of triumph. Everyone is placed into a “pressure cooker of life,” and you share a lifetime of experiences in a very short window of time. Everyone in the activity can tell you about their wingman or immediate circle of friends that got them through their first summer. I’ve often talked about the exponential return of “partnering up” - friends uplifting each other to their max. This was one of many life lessons taken from my first summer of tour. Here’s a Finals Night shot from 2001 of three Texas bros and @longhornband alums that spent the summer marching snare together @thephantomregiment. We were definitely products of a sharp learning curve, but the smiles at the end of our summer say it all! 😎 Left to Right: John Potter, @hueiyuanpan, & Brian Klenzendorf #regiment2001 #drumcorpsinternational #allgrownsup
