  10. The Velvet Knights Drum & Bugle Corps would like to welcome Stephanie Vasilakis, to our percussion staff in the role of snare tech.

    Her drumming experience began at an early age on the drum set. From then on she has grown up loving to play the drums. In 1999 she discovered the indoor drumline activity and was instantly hooked. Once she reached Jr. High School she joined band and drumline at Canyon Hills Jr. High as their drum set player. She continued playing drum set as a freshman at Ayala High School and was then moved onto snare in her sophomore year of high school. After graduating high school in 2008, Stephanie continued her journey in the marching arts by joining Pulse Percussion in 2009 as their drum set player........
