Being caught on camera is something you get very used to being in drum corps. This is a picture of the 2003 Drum Line.

This is the pit. Not a marching part of the drumline, but definitely an asset. We consider ourselves all part of the drumline, but if you really wanted to break it down, they would call the Drum Line the "Battery" and they would call the Pit the "Front Ensemble." Either way, no percussion section is really that good without a pit. The drumline is the black and white and the pit brings the color.

This is just the Battery waiting to put on our uniforms before the show because it was about 115 degrees outside.
|
|
Concentration, Focus on the show.
|
Let it all out... AFTER the show
|
|
We have't yet decided if this is a sweet look, or an evil look from Pinto (alex).
|
This is sexy Pierce chillien on the bus.
|
|
See... for those of you that know josh and think he can't smile... perhaps you should get to know him better. This was taken during a little trip to Universal Studios when we were on tour.
|
There is a LONG story behind this picture
|
|
He's a character for sure.
|
This is the pit during our final performance of "The Wiz," in florida. They did a remarkable job and we are so proud.
|
|
This is Dan, a member of the pit who has recently moved into the Drum Line playing Bass. He was so little then =0(
|
This is Nikki at a reherasal this summer... and way in the back ground is little Yeri (mouse)... Isn't she cute!
|
|
|
This is Todd. He used to be the little guy in the line and we don't know what happened, but now everyone has to look up at him.
|
|
Dan is checking out the hornline as they are playing before the final performance in Florida.
|
This is a sign in Universal Studios that was taken because it reminds us of an inside joke that the kids in the corps have. Does Cheezie ring a bell?
|
|
This is Pinto. He was in the middle of his piece for Individuals in 2003 and he had a fan club of about 60 people. Targets and fans filled the room. We Love you Pinto!!!
|
This is Todd again. He wasn't looking at the camera because there were 2 people with cameras and he didint know who to look at. He's sporting the Boston Red Sox hat that the battery wore to be more in uniform.
|
|
This is Mike and Todd on the bus. You'd be amazed what can be caught on camera.
|
These are 3 members of the pit who were standing in the truck trying to get out of the heat.
|
|
This is Dan posing in a picture when the corps went to Universal Studios.
|
This is Kara. It was her first year in the pit. She had never played any type of percussive instrument in her life and she ended up being one of the best mallet players in the Pit.
|
|
This is Adam and Dan during the final performance of "The Wiz" in Florida.
|
This is what it's about when you aren't practicing or competing. You go places and meet new people that you will have in your life forever. This is a picture of a few members of the corps hanging out and soaking in the sun in Universal Studios.

|
At the end of the day, no matter how stressful it was, as soon as you get off that field and know you did a good job, it's all worth it.
