cjlaplaca: People often ask me what it was like to win DCI Open Class - to become a world champion. Though I’d love to romanticize the experience as much as possible, the truth is that anyone who has ever performed their show on finals night is familiar with the same nervous euphoria that I was on August 6th, 2013. Not a single person who has ever marched drum corps needs a gemstone-validation that their limitless energy paid off that summer, because in everyone’s heart is a reminder of the legacy they created. An instructor I once had would frequently say “the effort is the prize, the victory cheap and hollow were it not for the rigor of the game.” I cannot think of a better phrase to describe the activity. #dci #drumcorps #scvc #vanguardcadets -- source link
