Day 15 - What do you love the most about marching?
Oh god, what DON'T I love? I love learning drill, run-throughs before shows, going to MICCA, poker chips, band camp. EVERYTHING
Although, my all time favorite thing would have to be putting on the uniform and marching the show. The complete and utter concentration on the field, playing and marching my heart out. There have been field shows and MICCA performances where I'm so in the zone, I don't remember half of the show.
Performing under the lights of the football field, it's a thrill. To sum it up...
“You know that being in a band is the greatest thing you can ever do, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise.” — George N. Parks
