"This fall, I played in the pit orchestra for the University of Illinois fall musical, "Hair." Because the pit was onstage, we got to dress up in character. The pit was small, only about 10 people, but four of us march drum corps. From the left is Cavalier tenor drummer and drum sergeant Ben "Seaver" Collins (sporting some gear from his recent trip to Japan), Glassmen mellophone player Stephanie Silosky, me (I play mellophone with the Bluecoats) and Cavalier drum major Aaron Brizuela. Steph and Ben aged out this past summer, Aaron and I will age out in '05."
Thanks Meghan!
