Google+

Again, it has been quite some time between posts and I've come to grips with the fact that personal blogs hold little to no interest for anybody else besides close friends and family (and even then I'm not so sure it's interesting!).

However, if you aren't on Google+ already, get on it! Tell me (email me: skparker1500@gmail.com) and I'll send you an invitation! It is beautiful! Much simpler than Facebook, much more customizable, and is free of harrassment (has anybody else had their FB profile hacked? Or is it just me?). Granted, when you make something idiot-proof, they create a better idiot, and I'm sure Google+ will have it's flaws in the near future, but so far it's been incredible.

Seriously. Get on it. I love it.

Q

It's been awhile...is blogging obsolete?

So, a ton of stuff has happened in the past month and I've had such an incredible experience! Between spending two weeks in England and finally graduating from college, my life has been interesting and wonderful!

However, fewer and fewer people seem to be using blogs in favor of Facebook and Twitter, which are faster and easier to use (at least when it comes to visuals!). Hm...

Having said that, if you'd like to see pictures from my trip or my graduation, check them out on Facebook and see what I've been up to via Twitter - SusanKParker

Sitting is Killing Us....Uh oh....

I've been meaning to do an update about my trip to England and I will soon, but in the meantime, here is something a bit horrifying to realize....

Landing in London

Nothing too exciting initially, but you can get the gist of our personalities from these pictures...

And how big our plane was!!

Updated Demo Reel

Madison Independent Drumline

A huge, huge congratulations to Madison Independent Drumline for walking away with the Gold World Champions medal this past weekend at WGI World Finals in Dayton, Ohio!!

A bit of a Cinderella story, MID started back in November 2010 with 20-30 members, a few instruments, a tech or two, and ran off hopes and dreams. But thanks to a strong support system and a solid plan, it grew to be 44 members strong and very successful.

I'm proud to say that I was with this ensemble from the start and it would be my first and last year with the program as I age out at 22. I'm so glad I got to help build the program from the bottom up and I made some of the most amazing friends in the world, and in the end, that's what truly matters. Even if we had lost, it would have still been a very successful season.

I love you all and will always remember you and cherish this season and the time we spent together.
