bearz Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Typically every year I hear comments from many corps, of one or two members who are shipping out right after DCI finals. I think it would be a great idea for us to list all our known members who are now heading off to the military and to thank them for their service both to drum corps and to our country, and to wish them the best. I'll start off because I am especially proud of this person. Tyler Anthony, a Blue Star for 6 years, auditioned for the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps after the corps performance in Quarterfinals Thursday night. He is now the newest member of the United States Marine Corps D&BC! Tyler ships out, I believe, some time in the next week or two for basic training before joining the Corps. GOOD LUCK TYLER! Who else is shipping out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I play the baritone good Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Good luck to everyone following this path. I did the same thing after Finals in 2005. Just finished my 2nd year as an infantryman in the Army. Some advice... it sucks leaving DCI before your age-out year. If you're not yet an age-out, consider waiting until after your 21st to join the military. I wish I had (would have aged out this year).

My biggest regret drum corps wise was not marching my age out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were a great inspiration for a certain baritone player in our home. God Bless! (Megs Mom) And hearty congratulations to Tyler. We'll be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Kyle B Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I'd like to say thank you to all the men and women in our armed forces who serve us over the seas and at home. Your sacrifices are known to many! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
