| What do you like most about Drumline? | The tradition and camaraderie. |
| What do you like least about Drumline? | Two things: When people take it too seriously or too lightly. |
| Describe your best Drumline memory. | I've got quite a few:
Freshman Year - Playing a competition in Kansas City in 93° heat.
- Playing "Dance of the Sugar Plum Ferries" with Metallica's "One" over it.
- Seeing Dave Arthur work on "Tornado" as a Sophomore
- Going to St. Louis
Sophomore Year - Doing the Kansas City competition in a parking lot because their field had flooded.
- Playing "Why Can't This Be Love?" at a basketball game because the captain wanted a chick.
- Set up the first Lincoln Drumline site. Wow, was it bad.
Junior Year - The bassline adding 6's to cadences just to keep from being bored.
- The bassline actually getting mad because they couldn't get 8's to sound good enough; the 6's were fine, so they wanted to do something harder
- Going to Orlando, FL and playing at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World
Senior Year - Drawing crowds during summer practices at my house
- Winning a caption award for Best Percussion
- Playing in snow at ValleyFest
- The picture to the left
- Having nearly a week of snow days that I didn't have to make up

| What would you do if you were Drum Captain for a day? | I miss counting off cadences, warm-ups and such. It's cool having that kind of control of a full drumline like that. If I was captain for one day, I'd probably take the line around the parking lot a couple times just to set off car alarms.
"Clicking" the full band out onto the field was pretty cool, too. |
| Name something unique about yourself. | I run this website. |
