Some people dream of worthy accomplishments: others stay awake and do them

When you put your heart into something it can take you anywhere

Colorguard...to those who understand no explanation needed....To those who don't no explanation possible

Practice does not make perfect... only perfect practice makes perfect

Sometimes we have to put up with the rain, before we can see a rainbow

An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it

Never frown... even when your sad, you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile

If it wasn't going to be hard, everyone would do it

No one said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it

If you're gonna hit 'em, hit 'em hard, and if it's the band director, hit 'em harder

I'd rather be in a guard with no life, than in a life with no guard

Shoot for the moon even if you miss you will land amongest the stars

If it's gonna hurt, it better leave a mark

Colorguard: Sweet little girls...With big metal sticks

Don't cry because it is over Smile because it happened

Beginnings are scary, ends are sad but it's the middle that counts the most

You'll soon forget the practices, but you will always remember the performances

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

Good, better, best; never let it rest till your good is better and your better is best

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride-- and never quit, you will be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
-Coach Bear Bryant

Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.
Andre Maurois (1885 - 1967)
 
Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)
 
Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Dr. David M. Burns
 
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
