Summer Tour '12

This is my blog for updates on my summer with Blue Devils B. My name is Annadine and I'm the 5'0 snare drummer. Follow my original blog: annadizzzle.tumblr.com

Guys, I used to be pretty okay at drumming 😟

Bad improv to AlunaGeorge x Tchami. The beginning was rough and basically me just ramming notes, but it gets a little better in the end, I suppose. lmao what is tempo.

This is how I procrastinate studying for finals.

Something I put together about a month ago. Come to a show soon!

My favorite segments of book from VWP 2014. I haven’t played them in months, so please forgive my ticks.

Feels great to be drumming with my bro, Mikhail again. Here's a preview of our performance for Logan's Winter Spectacular next week. Excuse the dirt. We had just made it up about 30 minutes before we recorded this.

I think…

Once I obtain financial stability and comfort for myself and my family in the future, I really want to teach in Mexico.

I want to create a program down there; an organization. The kids in Mexico deserve the music education equivalent to, if not better to, what we have here in the US.

Some shots I got with my Go-Pro today. Awesome Veteran’s Day rehearsal.

Constantine, MI. That field was horrible and the grass was so tall. You can see every drop of dedication in my shirt, though.

[annadizzzle]

If there’s one thing that I will never forget from my one year of drum corps, it will always be to push myself beyond my limits; simply put, “Mind Over Matter.”

I probably wouldn’t be so consistent and dedicated to all the things I’m involved in today if it weren’t for that one summer. I would still be finding ways to cheat myself by taking shortcuts instead of working hard for a result. I would let my mind convince me that I’m weak. But I don’t. I know that I’m a strong person both mentally and physically.

Mind over matter.

Putting my Go-Pro to good use. Check it.

One more day left in this season. Tomorrow is the final push.

We got this, Logan.

I couldn’t be more proud of these kids. They worked so hard to finally be able to say they are the champions.

It’s a privilege to be, once again, apart of the program that shaped me to who I am today. It’s also an honor to be working with a great staff as well. I’ve learned so much as a teacher this one season from both the kids and the people I work with. I couldn’t thank everyone enough for this opportunity.

Congratulations on the well deserved gold, Logan. It’s nice to be able to say champions again, yes?

Now it’s time for winter percussion to kick into full gear.

[annadizzzle]

Cheers to a great season. I have never been more nervous and proud before. Not even as a performer. Teaching is truly an experience of its own.

Fantastic job, Logan.

Awesome work to all my students this fall season. I couldn’t have asked for a greater group of kids to work with. Keep up the good work and let’s see what winter has in store for us. #clutch #proudteacher #band #thuglife #drumline #drums #marchingband #idkman #tacos #friedchicken #ascensionbruh #tapex #bobalovers #imajustkeephashtaggingexcessively #annadidddles #istillwantabetterchampspic #okay #imdone
