OH boy, 2nd independent guard, kids from irvington, and AC going through had personal times, getting attacked on the internet, my career threatened. this one as kind of a blur. This is one is kind of hard for me to talk about. This show was something ive never been very comfortable with, mainly cuz we never had a clear concept. Probably the disconnected ive felt writing a show. I was leaving screaming distance any from the school, so at the end of rehearsal i ould have no energy left, but still able to go home and sleep, but sometimes had to drive to AC and back, probably pent more time in the car then i did on the floor and thats not good, not good for what we do. The other instructor wanted me to write an abstract galaxy show, and i was on the verge of hashing out the idea, and she wanted to take control, and when that idea didnt come to fruition, she had he kids write it a little, and then she brought i another writer who didnt kno what to do, and after all that, gives me reigns back and says "fix it, do i better." and i couldnt do it. I say this with no filter, i love those kids, but this show is just bad. You could say, "oh its artistic" but come on man, just because someone doesnt understand it, doesnt mean its art. And i dont blame anyone but myself, it was though this exprience i realized, im a control freak when it comes to these winter guard shows that im involved in. I hold no ill will towards the staff or anything, this is how learn , this is how you grow as an educator. There were some good ideas in this show. But the reason why im bitching about all the things that impeded the show rather talk about he show is cuz its still painful for me to talk about and heres why. So yeah, not one of favorite shows. Its so ironic and pointless that we had no one competing against us, and still got a 1st place medal. I think i only did 5 rehearsals with Ida price the same season and they gave me a 1st place medal for my contribution, which know, im greatful for, but it something things i could barely give anything of myself to... just felt like an evil joke. Not to mention i was getting Cyber bullied, and threatened over some previous disagreements with, i shouldnt say who, but those involved know who im reffering to, and i was going through a break up all at the same time, i really cant.... SIgh, Now that ive vented, the kids were great performers to stick with us throughout the season it was fun during rehearsals, and their smiles and laughs made all the endurance worth it.
