It was an honor marching BK, a summer I will never forget! Marching with the Blue Knights gave me life skills such as a great work ethic, determination, and taught me to believe in myself. As a result, I am now a part of the “Commandant’s Own, U.S. Marine Drum & Bugle Corps”.

Deciding to audition for the Blue Knights when I was 15 was one of the best decisions of my life. The Blue Knights instantly became my family and the lessons I learned from the Blue Knights are invaluable in my life today.

The Blue Knights were my first ever home-away-from-home. Drum corps taught me through hard work and discipline, many of my dreams and goals were very attainable. I take those lessons with me through all walks of life to this day! I Go On..."
