Tonight I went to a drumline show and it was a really good night, then on the way home I was riding the bus and one of my friends was told that the only reason he made the summer brass snare line is because he had people pulling for him (as in they pulled strings for him) and he pretty much broke down. I have never seen him so so livid in my entire life. He would not talk to me and he was swearing up a storm. Out of all the drumline kids there I was probably the best chance of him calming down and I was literally at a loss of what to do.
For the record this kid is one of the most talented high school drummers I've ever met. He pretty much doesn't have any cartilage left in his knees or wrists and yet he still drums on because that's what he loves to do. I've literally never seen anyone more dedicated or have more passion towards something in my life. He will not let anyone or anything get in the way of his dreams of marching. The worst part is, he can't even afford to have a knee replacement so his knees and wrists hurt pretty much everyday all day.
So please please please, think before you say something.
