Alright, Cool. Set Them Down.

i need this fidget toy more than i have ever needed any other fidget toy

it’s currently in its fundraising phase, it looks like they’ll be ready to sell them in December 2016! image source and more information here at their kickstarter.

I understand that @dcinternational is a business and businesses need to make money. However, when one of their core marketing strategies is the hashtag “#growdrumcorps” they need to uphold that. All drum corps are good drum corps, regardless of the number they receive. All drum corps teach students valuable life lessons, regardless of the number they receive. All drum corps deserve recognition, regardless of the number they receive.

I am very disappointed in this organization for putting profits above the value of a student’s performance.

The caption head keeps saying “one more time”. You’ve lost track of how many times he’s said it. The sun is rising.

The bus pulls into the housing site. The drum majors get off to go find the sleeping areas. They do not return.

This gym seems familiar. They all seem familiar. You can’t tell them apart anymore.

You enter the field. It is silent. There is a crowd, but no noise. There is no announcement. The drum major counts off.

Your tech tells you to go touch the fence. You keep running. You never find the fence.

The water doesn’t taste right. It is dark and tastes gamey. You think you see something move in your jug.

The vets say that you won’t hurt after three weeks. They were right. You can’t feel anything in general now.

Staff says you should get five hours of floor time, but as soon as you close your eyes, the gym lights come on.

The gym lights are motion sensored. They come on and you sit up. No one is moving.

Things disappear in the bays. Then under your seat. You worry that what’s sitting in the seat is next.

You feel your seat partner lean against you in the night. You look over and they are asleep in the aisle. You close your eyes and don’t open them until you arrive at the housing site.

The showers are dimly lit. You all stick to one side because you swear something is on the corner.

You have pasta for dinner, but it tastes like pb&j. Your cereal in the mornings tastes like pb&j. Your water tastes like pb&j. Everything tastes like pb&j.

“What state are we in?” No one can answer. No one knows. Staff won’t tell anyone.

A cloud is almost covering the sun. It does not move for the entire block.

A field judge is in front of you. He follows you for the whole show. He has a tape recorder, but doesn’t say anything into it.

Troopers

1.) Put your clothes in 1gallon zip lock bags. It organizes and makes it easy to find clothing each night/morning

2.) This may be personal preference, but don’t use a clam shell suite case. It just makes you have to sort things more and it’s just over all a hassle.

3.) Pack light! Don’t pack anything extra! Remember YOU have to drag it around at 3 am after you’ve been on a bus for a million hours. 4.) Bring some sort of caddy for your shower stuff so you can move it with you quickly and easily while you race to the showers. 5.) Make sure to pack a brace if you need it! 6.) Pack a small water bottle to use on the bus or for any kind of flavored drink. Trust me you don’t want it in your water jug. 7.). For laundry detergent consider using tide pods or something small and pre packaged thing so you aren’t carrying a gallon of laundry detergent and fabric softener.

7a.) Bring double the tide pods you need for laundry days because your clothes will stink and you will need it!
