One of our favorite things every summer is drum corps. I’m always fascinated by how a creative team can take a theme and turn it into a field production. The theme and the storyline is the most important part of putting a show together - long before music is picked and visuals are drawn up. I spent some time digging into the show themes for all of the corps this year, because I was just so impressed with how well so many of them told the story through their show. So, for the next 4 weeks, I’ve taken a few of our favorite shows from the summer and relate their titles to some of the things we’ve experienced and learned this summer. I’ve titled this series “Marching Forward”, because after some of the things we’ve experienced, I know we’re being called to move forward in many areas of life.
Today, we begin with part 1: Riffs and Revelations. This show was about a journey… the parts that repeat, the things that were learned, the things discovered - over the road on a journey to reveal who we really are. I'll share a little about some of our repeated patterns and the revelations God has shown us to move forward in several areas.
