MONICA SIT DOWN AND LET ME TELL YOU A THING

I KNOW DRUM CORPS IS INTIMIDATING AS FUCK AND YOU THINK YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE CORPS YOU WANT OR BE GOOD ENOUGH AND MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF IN FRONT OF EVERYONE BUT YOU KNOW WHAT

IF YOU'RE PASSIONATE ENOUGH ABOUT IT THEN PRACTICE BOTH OF YOUR BUTTOCKS OFF UNTIL YOU ARE LITERALLY COVERED IN BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE YOUR CRAFT ISN'T THAT APPRECIATED 

IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHEN YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR THE ARTS 

DON'T LET ANYTHING OR ANYONE OR EVEN YOURSELF DETER YOU FROM TRYING OUT FUSION OR ANY OTHER CORPS FOR THAT MATTER BECAUSE YOU'LL REGRET NOT GOING FOR IT, JUST SILENCE EVERYTHING IN YOUR HEAD AND DISCIPLINE THE FUCK OUT OF YOURSELF UNTIL EVERYTHING IS JUST GUARD AND GUARD AND MORE COLOR GUARD 

I'M ALSO FEELING THE STRESS BECAUSE COLLEGE IS COMING SOON AND I NEED TO GET MY MUSIC SHIT TOGETHER AND GET INTO THE MUSIC SCHOOLS I WANT TO GET INTO AND AUDITIONS ARE NERVEWRACKING BUT THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT YOU JUST GOTTA GO HEAD FIRST AND BE BRAVE ABOUT IT 

YOU KNOW WHAT IS BETTER THAN TALENT? DEDICATION! YOU CAN BE TALENTED THROUGH SHEER HARD WORK, YOU CAN PROVE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NATURALS WHEN IT COMES TO GUARD THAT YOU HAVE MORE GUTS AND THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK FIVE TIMES HARDER TO ACHIEVE THAT SAME GOAL 

HENCE DON'T EVER HOLD YOURSELF BACK, DO WHAT YOU LOVE 

I'VE COME TO THIS REALIZATION OVER THIS SUMMER THAT I HONESTLY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT MUSIC AND I KNOW THAT I'M PROBABLY GONNA GET MYSELF INTO ISSUES ALONG THE WAY BECAUSE FUCK MUSICIANS AREN'T RICH UNLESS I MAGICALLY BECOME HANS ZIMMER BUT YOU JUST GOTTA PUT FAITH IN YOURSELF 

HAVE FAITH THAT YOUR LOVE AND PASSION FOR THE ARTS WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH BECAUSE THAT STUFF IS WHERE ALL THE DETERMINATION AND MOTIVATION COMES FROM AND YOU SHOULD KEEP CHARGING RIGHT BACK AT IT EVEN IF YOU GET DISCOURAGED JUST KEEP GOING AND GOING AND DON'T EVER STOP

SPIN YOUR HEART OUT MAN

MARCH YOUR HEART OUT 

DON'T ACTUALLY MARCH YOUR HEART OUT YOU NEED THAT FOR DRUM CORPS 

GET AGGRESSIVELY MOTIVATED LIKE HOW I'M AGGRESSIVELY TYPING THIS ALL OUT

DO WHAT YOU LOVE MONICA GO FOR IT I WILL BE CHEERING FOR YOU ALL THE WAY FROM COLLEGE WHEREVER THE FUCK I GO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR ME SCREAMING MILES AWAY AND I WILL SUPPORT YOU AND EVERYONE WHO WISHES TO PURSUE THE ARTS!!!!!!!!!!
