Every year there is a gathering held by an organization named WGI in Dayton Ohio for drumlines across the US to perform one last time. This is also the yearly championships that everyone has looked forward to the most because they may be able to see their friends from distant states. Also with the fact that only people the age of 22 or under are able to participate in these groups makes it even more saddening as they have to give up their last year being able to perform music with their closest friends. Although this age limit has been raised another year for all members of these groups from this year, this still doesn't make up for the fact that many people have already set plans for after they finish as well. Overall all these people have to give up all their hard work trying to audition for groups and long hours of practice. Not being able to have one final moment with their closest peers as sometimes people aren't able to attend high school together and have no other way of seeing them again. This virus has taken so much away from people whether it's the last moments of high school or the last time being able to perform and watch your closest friends perform.
