#scvc2014

I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t do this activity. Coming from a small program from high school to performing with some of the top performers in DCI, that is truly a blessing. Whether the season ending in gold or a chocolate medal, it was all worth it to the end. I’ve had the time of my life. - - - #scvc2014 #scvc2015 #bloo16 #bloo17 #bloo18 #ageoutrageout #dci

What is your greatest moment so far? I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. #oncloudnine #scvc2015 #theroadnottaken #scvc2014 #trnt #foreverapartofme #wishingyouweresomehowhereagain #cominghomesoon (at San Bernardino Mountains)

-The end of my first semester at SFSU -Lack of actual sleep paired with late night talks. -The beginning of SCVC 2015 which means of course the end of my rookie year. I'm a veteran staff member. Wtf. - During dance block "I'll keep you safe" came on and holy feelings, batman. Also the 2014 show playing in the gym during dinner break. -A BUNCH of kids from last summer getting callbacks or contracts with world class colorguards !!!!! - Holiday stress + about to see family, dear god I miss them. - Seeing new friends and old friends and ladies and gentlemen and ah. - Having so many kids that we had to cut 8 of them right away and will probably cut 10 more next camp. Eh, I hate that part. - Recognition. From all facets. Mix all that in with a shitload of lady hormones and you get a very very VERY emotional Suz. Going to recharge silently in a corner now kthnxbai.

Hey guys! So this is the Santa Clara Vanguard Cadet’s 2014 show, “The Road Less Traveled.” This show was recorded on July 17, 2014 at their last open rehearsal. Hope you guys enjoy :)

Now marks the end of a beautiful season of drum corps! Congrats to all the corps from World and Open for just making this an awesome year. Its been real #worldclass #openclass #DCI #drumcorps #SCVC #SCVC2014

So, it's World Finals. I'm not performing tonight, and I'm okay with that. The end of the Open Class season transitioning to the World Championship weekend is always weird and stressful, and as much as I wanted to win Open, having the chance to just be a spectator is rare and I am grateful for it. In addition, if we were to have won, I wouldn't have felt right about it. I had a terrible show Finals night. I've come to terms with it and know that it doesn't negate all of the work I put in this entire season, but it was dissapointing. That being said, there are several things I am proud of personally: -Looking back at my goals from mid-June, I accomplished all of them. Every one. -I got better. I can feel it. I fixed my 45 technique, I learned how to do Peggy spins, my left hand tosses don't suck so bad. My body got stronger. I learned what a world class, Lucas Oil lunge looks like. I pushed myself, and I got better. -I earned a Golden Foot award and a marching heart, both from our visual staff. It's nice to be recognized from my own caption, but having my efforts recognized by the Vis guys was such an honor. -I may be auditioning for other corps next season, but nowhere will ever feel as much like home as Santa Clara. Next goals: SCVWG and A-corps.
