Yeah, I really love the experience that is the visual staff off season. There's nothing in drum corps that lets you know how far down on the totem pole you are quite like the off season. It's that tinge in the back of your head that comes when someone asks you if you're teaching again, and where, right around the end of September/beginning of October. There's nothing like having no clue what that answer is. My personal favorite is to see all the pretty drum corps posting their staff acquisitions. Then, my brain generating more self conscious thought than a high school girl at the mall with her parents, having just spilled a full drink all over herself, farting beyond audibly, vomiting through her nose, while all the cute boys she likes come walking by one after another to not even notice her.. I don't even like Molly Ringwald 80's movies, and I'm freakin' living one every fall. Oh well, I've decided that I'm too curious to see what beach I wash up on to be a barnacle on someone's board. I think it's pretty tough to avoid burnout in the visual realm when you're not on top. I like it, though. Through all the strikes and gutters, I still like it. Hell, I'm excited about the upcoming summer just to chase that excitement and make something else happen in my career. I'm really curious to see what this blog turns into this year. We'll have to note the posts pre- and post- diaspora.
Orcapiss is teaching English in Indonesia..
