#DCI2018

Shit I’ve heard Band say

“A triangle could be hanging from your earlobe all I care is that you sound good”

“Put those balloons BACK in my locker!!!”

“Banana Pipeline. Like from Brazil to Times Square. No it’s only slightly puréed”

“You told me to take what I want.” -Freshman

“That’s called STEALING BITCH!!” -Senior

“I love the crunch of a frozen chicken nugget.”

“When in doubt pull out!” -Director to horns

“I AM THE MESIAH!!!” -A trumpet

I got sent home

Getting sent home on tour is one of the hardest things Ive had to do in my life so far. I Spent 90% of my summer literally killing my body to the point it hurt to stand, to getting cleared and pushing through a whole rehersal day to try to catch up, to the very next day being told i no longer have a spot and then being given an ultimatum to stay or go home. I was not ready to pick and I said I wanted to go home.

I feel cheated

I feel cheated out of the rest of my summer.

I feel cheated out of memories

I feel cheated out of long bus rides

I feel cheated out of so much

But more importantly

I feel lost

Its been four months and i dont know how to classify this summer. I dont know what to say when people ask me how my summer was. I feel like im cheating when i wear my corps jacket because they had already put 2018 on it.

I marched over half the summer. But i feel like i was never really there. A place that felt like home feels foreign. People that were my brothers and sisters i feel like I dont know.

Getting sent home is hard. So please if you know someone who went home. Please give them a hug, sent them a text, remind them they were still part of your summer.

Another #Cadets Guard Mini-Reunion. There’s no one I’d rather hear scream “STADIUM LIIIIIGHTS!!!” than the amazingly talented and impassioned teacher, Rebekah Chadderdon. Bekah Chadderdon (Cadets of Bergen County Guard ‘97-‘99, Cadets Guard ‘00-‘03) Marcus “The Matrix” Hopkins (Cadets Guard ‘01-‘03) Shhh: My corps jacket still reads “Cadets of Bergen County” #DCI2018 #Finals #CBCCG #FHNSAB (at Lucas Oil Stadium)
