Hawthorne Caballeros 2025

This is about to be a lot, but genuinely the most heart felt things I’ve ever posted about the marching arts.

This season with cabs has taught me so many lessons that I don’t even know where to begin. Obviously I could talk about how I feel I’ve improved as a musician, member or even person. But the thing that I take away with me after this season is the people, the friendships, and the memories.

This group has by far been one of the tightest knit, funniest, and most family like that’s I’ve even been apart of. Coming into this it was a little intimidating wondering how I’d be accepted into this family or if I would? But once I was, it became the best experience I’ve ever had in the marching arts! The pure friendship and care shown by every member of the battery, percussion section and full corps made me instantly feel at home.

On top of all that, this was by far the highest level percussion section I’ve been apart of. The professionalism of the staff made me instantly better as they always had something to say to make me better. On top of this having peers in the bass line with vast knowledge made learning a natural occurrence that happened every time we met.

These standards now embedded into me will change how I go about my business in the future for the better not only making me a better musician, but better in whatever life throws my way. Life threw a lot my way through this season, and I’m happy to say that cabs was always the constant. Knowing that no matter how my week was or whatever crap came my way I always had this bass line, this battery, and this corps to lean on gave me an overwhelming sense of safety.

If you’ve read this far, I assume you were apart of the journey this summer. Thank you all for your contribution to my summer, and truly making me feel like a brother. I love all of you, don’t be a stranger and reach out if you need anything at all.

To the people who have seen me grow and who I have marched along side with, Thank You for Everything. If it wasn’t for the love that I felt when joining this program, The people I have gotten to meet, and the experiences I have shared with you all, I wouldn’t be half of the person I am. Even when I thought I had failed this family by leaving, you welcomed me with open arms without hesitation and I’ve never felt more that I know where I belong, than being here at EHS. You all inspire me everyday to be better, to want more not just for myself but for this family, and I could never put into words how much every person who has impacted me in this activity means to me. You all have made me who I am and I will always be grateful for getting to meet every single one of you who has had a positive impact on me.

To my second family, I love you all with all my heart and am so proud of every single one of you. Watching the EHS Percussion go from unheard of in the indoor percussion space, to a powerhouse which takes title after title, has been a joy that I will never take for granted. The fact that I have had the honor to be your Captain fills me with so much pride, and allows me to reflect on how blessed I am to be with such talented and passionate musicians. My send off couldn’t be more poetic, the fact that I’m leaving this program better than I entered it, and without a shadow of a doubt that EHS Percussion will only grow as these kids become something years back, we could only dream of, is amazing to me and I can’t wait to see how all of you will grow and mature as you take this program to new heights. All I can say to you all is to keep driving and striving for that full potential that all of you have within and with every new struggle, continue to want to conquer and best everything that thinks it can stop the powerhouse that we have cultivated here at EHS. Never Settle, Never Doubt, Be Undeniable.

Lastly I want to quickly Thank All The Staff at EHS who take all the credit for making all of us who we are and for pushing for us to accept nothing but the best for ourselves.

My Heart Goes Out To All Of You ❤️
I’ll never forget my time marching at EHS 🥁

another amazing season has ended and it’s sad to see it all go. I’m very proud of everyone in the marching band and i’m so grateful i got to watch them all grow from july till now. It’s sad knowing that this is my final year in this band but im glad I got to experience it with all of them. Thank you for the amazing memories that were made throughout these past months, you all have motivated me to be the best drum major i can be. You all weren’t just a marching band to me, but a family that i will forever cherish in my heart. Again, i’m so very proud of you all, and all that you guys have accomplished. Thank you for accepting me as your drum major and i wish you all nothing but the best for your next season 💙💙💙

That’s a wrap on another great show with EHS and my last marching band season. I am grateful for the experience, memories, and friends that Beyond the Sea has given me. I have had so much fun with my bass line and watching them grow has been a great pleasure. Staff always pushes us to new limits and shows us that we can go beyond our own expectations. I am so grateful for them and their support and understanding. Thank you to the drum majors for guiding us through an amazing season. I am so proud of you guys ❤️. Never forget Ryan’s kind and motivational words at one of our last rehearsals “always think you are not enough” ❤️‍🩹.
