Jack Graham Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Ever since I marched Music City in 2018, it sometimes feels like I am a recovering drug addict trying to chase the same high I got from the drugs I used to do. I understand the nature of the activity and how unique and circumstantial an environment like drum corps is, but I still wonder what I kind of lifestyle I can live to feel as good physically and mentally I did that summer. Better yet, is there way other than ideal healthy living conditions to feel that good, that happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 You have discovered what many have known for a long time: there is no substitute for Drum Corps. In the words of the old song, "You're not sick, you're just in love". Welcome to the circus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan, not a participant, your feelings are the main reason I support the young people who go after this activity. I can't think of anything else available to those up through the age of 22 that provides such powerful benefits. My suggestion? Do everything you can to participate again. It's worth it and I'm convinced you'll be a better person and a better servant-leader for the experience. Good luck and God bless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingfred Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 Working harder than you ever thought you could physicaly. Learning things faster than you ever had to mentally. caring about someting so deeply emotionally. Evolving as a person. Evolving as a performer. Making friendships and memories that will last a life time. I have no idea what you're talking about. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Holland Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 there's no feeling like taking a bent piece of metal, a thing you bang on, some random piece of guard equipment and using these things to bring people to their feet. Its why many of us did the activity, and many perform onstage years after we've aged out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
