JUNE 15TH. 
What’s today?
The day I looked up the camp dates and realized how under-prepared I am…


Pain makes you stronger. Fear makes you braver. Heartbreak makes you wiser.

So, I haven’t checked the 2012 DCI programs yet…

until this second and i’m starting to geek out over some of them…
This isn’t a full listing of their shows, just music i’m amped to hear and have my ears blown out drum corps style. 

Phantom: Turandot- I honestly had never heard this opera by Puccini…but I’m listening to it right now and I think Phantoms going to nail it…typical PR, romance and death haha.
The Academy- I’m not a big Academy fan, but They’re doing Rite of Spring…RITE OF SPRING.
Bluecoats: UnMasqued- Soooo exciteddddd for this. It has music from Phantom of the Opera <3 And I was very suprised to see a song by Bon Iver on the list…interesting. Also they are doing Love Dance from Rene Dupree’s “Ka”. Sicksicksick.
Crusaders- Pines of Rome and Mahler’s Symphony Number 1. 
Carolina Crown- Copland’s Fanfare for the Common man.
Santa Clara- Mars and Jupiter from “The Planets”.
The Cavaliers- Everything.

July15th needs to be now so I can see this…this is like the Super Bowl for me except better.
