Anything Is Possible

Was going through some old photos today and stumbled across some from my freshman year of high school. Was always passionate about drumline and practiced a lot as a result. Came from a small town without a percussion instructor, ultimately marched 4 years of DCI and aged out with a bang. I just share this to let all the young players out there know that ANYTHING is possible. If you practice, stay dedicated to your craft, always ask questions, and listen you can achieve just about anything. If you ever doubt yourself just take a step back and look at where you are vs. where you started and you might amaze yourself, then pick your sticks back up and keep going. The road is never ending. Even as you improve, you’re still going to want more improvement, that’s the nature of this beast. It’s easy to get discouraged, especially in this day and age of constant comparison with others online. Always try to learn something from someone more experienced, and keep your grace notes down. Now go practice 🤣
