What corps are you in and what is your role this summer?

Give us your full drum corps/marching music background.
At Mayfield High School, I played clarinet for four years. I was also in the winter guard for two years. In 2004, I was part of the Capital Regiment color guard. In 2005, I was a member of the Cavaliers color guard.
What does your ideal free day consist of?
Waking up at 10 or 11 and not rehearsing. Going to eat breakfast at some nice cafe with some of the guys. Then going to see a movie. Afterwards, eating some lunch and then checking out a bookstore and ending with Starbucks.
Favorite pig-out food:
Pizza and boneless buffalo wings.
In the shower you can hear me singing:
“Blue Moon” and a bunch of other oldies.
The last good book I read:
The entire set of the “Chronicles of Narnia” by C.S. Lewis (I know, kind of dorky, but hey, I used to watch the cartoon when I was small).
The last great film I saw:
“A History of Violence”
Jobs I have/have had:
In the summer, I had water crew and bus loading. At home, I work at a movie theater, KRWG-TV and teach at Coronado High School.
My favorite TV show:
“Smallville” and “Nip/Tuck” — both are great shows!
What has been your formative drum corps moment?
In 2004, I went to Northern Illinois University and at the time the Cavaliers were there rehearsing in the stadium. I walked out onto the field from the locker room and was on the same field with them as they rehearsed. It was probably the most amazing rehearsal I had ever seen. The work ethic and performance that each person on the field had was incredible.
What would you be doing next summer if you were not marching?
Working and making money. Or traveling in Europe.
