#scvc2015

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)

I'm having post tour depression and pre tour depression. It sucks cause this last year left so surreal with being able to win again with my family at scvc again. And the 2013 show "the art of war" just came on my phone and it made me remember all the good and bad times I had that year from being hazed to hearing them announce that we won on semis and then on finals. And 2014, getting sick and almost dying because my kidneys failed and having to drop out. I may have only marched two years of DCI but I have 3 years worth of memories. And this year.... Pre tour depression because I won't be able to march. It really does break my heart because I truly do love this activity and the fact that my parents won't support it truly does suck. Fortunately, I have one more year to go. But if I March next year, my parents will kick me out of the house. *sigh* I wish they understood the power of performing and having a crowd cheer you on...

We woke up and had to load our suitcases so the mellos got up, loaded, and then we're late to block and misses stretching because they made us eat breakfast :P We had a four hour block of rehearsal and the run through that we had felt so good, it was a performance even though no one was there. After we showered and I got some of the gross black turf off my knee. LUNCH WAS SO GOOD OMG, bless our kitchen crew, especially since they're cooking without a portable kitchen. Now we're on a bus ride to Indiana!!! I can't wait to have our first show tomorrow!!

FULL REHEARSAL DAH WOOHOO music in the morning, visual in the afternoon, and an ensemble block in the evening. This day was very exciting because the high school band was watching us and we were very productive. We did music ensemble and sub sectionals during the first block, then cleaning and visual ensemble during the second block, and visual, re warm and full ensemble during the last block. Then an amazing performance run though of our show. After rehearsal we had a very deserved snack and shower and I got to talk to manny on the phone, Morgan also sent me a picture of manny in his uniform with his Aussie and contra going to retreat and it made me emotional tbh. It was a really productive but challenging day.
