“It’s not that you didn’t realize what you had until it was gone... You knew exactly what you had, but didn’t think you’d lose it.” •••••••••••••••••••• Despite being trapped in Orlando for a few days for a cancelled #HIMSS20 Due to #coronavirus, I turned the negative into several positives. One of them was that I got to spend some time with @heyoliviaaa and her posse at @infinityperc 2. An incredible ensemble that was on a serious mission heading in to #wgi world championships. The hard thing about looking back only a couple weeks to these images now, is that they capture a talented, hardworking team of performers, educators, and coordinators working towards a common goal of excellence in this insanely competitive activity. Given the global spectacle that is taking place, World championships has been cancelled, taking away the “end of the journey” from these fine young performers. It’s heartbreaking. I know there are more opportunities for greatness, “it’s not a about the destination, but the journey”, yada yada yada... but the fact of the matter is, it still sucks. I hope the kids stick with it for another season and get the final performance they deserve. Don’t ever stop working towards your goals, world championships has a sense of finality, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s the closing of a chapter, not the closing of a book. Here’s to those who are experiencing the repercussions of this very odd year.... to chapters being cut short. Best of luck and stay safe. . . . . . #wgi #wgi2020 #indoorpercussion #drumline #drumcorps #sonyalpha #teamsony #iamwgi #snaredrum #bassdrum #cymbals #marchingband #sonyalpha #teamsony #staysafe #inspired (at Winter Springs, Orlando, FL) https://www.instagram.com/p/B93NzYRhPd_/?igshid=de3far5fq78t
