POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Year three in the books. This one felt different. Maybe it’s because of the people, maybe it’s because of the struggles we pushed through together, maybe it’s because we secured high percussion, or maybe it’s because this is the first time I don’t know where the future will take me. The truth is, it’s all of those things. I would give anything to re-live each and every moment I spent with this family. Never in my experience have I been part of a group that worked this hard, dealt with this much, and cared this deeply about each and every one of us. We were tested time and time again. Members were injured, sick, the weather sabotaged our rehearsals, lot, show. In times where it’s easiest to crumble, we rebuilt stronger than before. We are forged under pressure. These moments have proved to be most important and most memorable. I will never forget summoning torrential rain in military park before prelims. I am so incredibly proud of every caballero that marched this show. I would like to thank the staff for igniting the fire that powered us all through this season. I’m grateful to be able to learn so much about life through an activity that I hold so close to my heart.

Finally, a special shout out to @mfoxphotography3 for the photos this year, and a huge congratulations on your engagement!
