Yes, so if anyone wonders about my forum absence here it is. I know I haven't really been online playing as much as I wanted, but I'll have more time next semester to do this. I've been over working myself (I have a hard time telling people no). I've been marching an indoor drumline group and put on a big recital plus a lot of other performances I helped people with (a few senior and junior recitals and big studio performances). SO that took away LOTS of my free time. Unfortunately I'm in the same boat this summer.
So you may be wondering..where/what the fuck is he going/doing for 3 months?
Some of you may be familiar with the activity called "Drum and Bugle Corp". I'll be marching with the Bluecoats this summer playing vibraphone. So what the fuck is this "Drum and Bugle Corp" anyways? If you don't know..try reading this.
Anyways, this will going on until I get back to my own band camp in August (blah). Then I can start playing normally again! (yay!)
Here's the site of the corp I'm with.
