In the Fall of 2000 I joined the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps (from Denver, CO) playing the Soprano Bugle and performed with them through the 2003 season.

For the 2004 season I flew out to Concord, CA to join the Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. This time I played the Mellophone. I spent 4 years performing as a Blue Devil including a tour of Europe, a world championship performance in Pasedena, CA and a trip to Japan.

After aging out in 2007 I then joined a local all-age corps, High Country Brass, at first playing Mellophone and later playing Soprano. Eventually I wrote the drill for the 2009 program. I took a year off in 2010, then came back as a visual instructor in 2011 before picking up a Soprano and performing with them at DCA Finals in Rochester, NY.

In the summer of 2008 I asked to volunteer on support staff for the Blue Devils. I have been working for the corps during every summer tour ever since, including during the undefeated 2009 and 2010 seasons.

I’m looking forward to being a part of both corps once again in 2012.
