"This is a pic of me and my best friend, CJ Howard, after retreat on finals night. We marched together at Colts in 2003 and 2004, and this year he went to march Madison and I went to the Santa Clara Vanguard. Outside of drum corps we are in marching band and concert band together at Drake University." Thanks Joe!
