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.
