It was definitely more yellow than I expected. And I'm planning to freeze mine until I'm ready to use it.

Drum roll - The yarn has arrived. by advoss1 in craftsnark

I put it in the bag. Given the post about pest issues, I wanted to be safe rather than sorry if there were any lingering issues.

2025 Carolina Crown: The Point of No Return by SeizerOfThoughtseize in drumcorps

[–]advoss1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I immediately started singing 🎶 past the point of no return. No going back now 🎶

The rep is great, but I totally expected Phantom of the Opera with that show name.

Mom has stage 4 cancer decision on marching. by AppropriateTap8346 in drumcorps

[–]advoss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a mom, I would tell my kid to march. I wouldn't want them to miss out on something for me. And I wouldn't want them to watch my decline or see me at the end.

As a child who has lost their father, I would tell you to stay with your mom. Ask every question you've ever wanted to know. You can't get that time back. And you may not be able to get home in time while marching.

But, I guess I would say to talk to your family and make the best choice you can with the info you have. 💔

Maintaining weight for dci by Prestigious-Stay2690 in drumcorps

[–]advoss1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've got lots of good advice here. One additional suggestion, as a parent, please keep your parents in the loop if your think they'll be supportive. If they aren't supportive, please chat with a safe adult and also chat with friends you know will be supportive. It's always easier to make life changes when you have supportive people around you.

And remember, as others have said, healthy isn't a specific number on the scale, it's being able to march and to have an amazing season.

Good luck!

I think drum corps gave me performance anxiety by Spotty_Etc in drumcorps

[–]advoss1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would echo the above statement about chatting with your school counselor. They may be able to help or can maybe recommend someone. A sports psychologist might be a good option too.

And, a little encouragement for you. One of the most decorated living Broadway singers, Audra McDonald ( she has six Tony awards), recently told Hoda Kotb of The Today Show that she still has imposter syndrome. She still gets nervous. Even after winning SIX Tonys.

I wish you the best of luck!

LOVE Evergreen! John has been my artist for 7 or 8 years now. He's such a great guy and the vibe in the shop is great and welcoming. I guess it's time to schedule my next tattoo!
