Hello, hello
My name is Daphne Garcia. I am not new to the blogging world but I am no expert at its "proper etiquette". I have a personal blog that I have been running for almost 4 years now with a following of 746 people which I am very proud of. I am from southern California and really culture shocked since my move to Topeka. I am the oldest in my family, the first to graduate high school and attend a university. am often found in my dorm or the library with hot chocolate, a thick book and my laptop running. I love being social with people all over the world and seeing things from their perspective. This is a small part of me in a nutshell. (:
And we tap off into a world filled with highs and lows that may have a following just as passionate as NFL fans if not more.
I'll be covering the rather unknown world of marching band from the spectator, instructor and performer's side. The pursuit of music does not stop for some after high school or college. Though we all claim that we can not function without music to some people it is their passion. They do not sing, they do not rap. They spend hours on hours in the blistering summer sun or bracing the cold winter air simply to get the stamina to perform an 8-12 minute show in a football stadium to family, friends and fans. It is more than just a class in high school. It is more than just credit hours in college. It is more than a hobby. I'm here to give you an inside look to their world and share their experiences: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
To kick off the upcoming season, here is one of the most well known performances (and my personal favorite) by one of only 2 all male marching ensembles in Drum Corps International:
