Pure Exhuastion

When I was on tour this summer with the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corp (pronounced core), I learned a very valuable lesson. Our corp song was titled "I Go On." We sang this song before every show and after a hard day of rehearsal. There is one phrase in the song that I love and live by... "...when my spirit falters on decaying alters and my illusions fail. I go on right then. I go on again. I go on to say, 'I will celebrate another day!' I go on..." The whole song is about go through the tough times and realities of life and still being able to make it through...to go on. This week was a tough week. I pulled four all nighters this week and two nights of only getting about four hours or less. I am completely exhausted, but I will be going to bed anytime soon. Too much to do and very little time to do everything. There are few things that kept me going this week and one was he corp song. Singing it when I wake up in the mornings somehow allows me to make it through the day! I love drum corp!!!
