LoveKathyG Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Many people say that being in a drum corps changed their lives, and I would agree. It's one of the few experiences that I can without hesitation say transformed me and made me a different person than I would otherwise have been. The only other experiences that have impacted me this way are going on Semester at Sea as a college student and having my kids. So, just curious... What other experiences have changed you as deeply as drum corps did? Edited February 26, 2009 by LoveKathyG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerriTroop Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Unmedicated childbirth. (yes, by choice. If anyone really wants to know why or other details they can PM me.) I would also say that working in a Waldorf school as a music educator has changed me much more than drum corps did. But drum corps taught me many things that are integral to how I tackle life, and I will always be grateful for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willie85 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I suppose drum corps really whet my appetite for seeing the world and life on the road. After graduating college and several years in the work force, I took a few major backpacking trips- first down the coast of West Africa, then overland from Hong Kong, thru Tibet, Nepal, India, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Australia. Even though I travelled light, I always made room for a beat-up old horn in my backpack - so I can legitmately say I've played on six continents.

soccerguy315 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I dunno about 'changed my life'... but backpacking europe was a pretty awesome experience as a whole, along specific parts (especially Auschwitz/Birkenau). I would recommend it to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
