It was an honor to march your drill for the two years I did at Cavaliers (2010-11), Michael. You inspire me as I begin to write drill myself and start down an unknown path of marching band and drum corps. Thank you for all you unknowingly provide to me and many like me.
I had the opportunity to listen to your MR Podcast the other day and wanted to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was informative and fun.
You gave out so much great info that is invaluable to young and old directors alike. Hopefully they are listening!
