I was only able to march one year of junior corps before entering the Navy. Since I have been in the military, I have wondered many times what my life would be like today if I had decided to march those three remaining years. But, I had no money for college and did not want to be struggling to pay the bills.
Each time I do think about it, I always come to the same conclusion: I do not regret my choices and would not change anything.
Since I have been in senior corps these last two seasons, it means a lot more to me than junior corps did, because I honestly never thought I would have the opportunity to march in a drum corps again.
By the way, I wonder if there will be any other active duty military marching at DCA this year.
