Rocky Point

My name is Rocky Ankeny and I am the creator of the Rocky Point Video Series! I played Mellophone with The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps in 2013, 2014, and 2015. I would love to answer any questions you have about drum corps, music, or the Cadets!

Words can't begin to describe how proud I am of these kids. What a fantastic performance to close the season on! This group is beyond special and I've been so blessed to work with you on an almost daily basis! I've taught you some things, but you've taught me way more. I love you all so much and you've truly showed me that good things come in small packages! Be very proud of all you've accomplished and know that you're the best version of the Bassett Band to ever exist! See you all at banquet! Anxiously awaiting for 2017! 💙💍 #BOD2016 #Bassett #GoodThings #HereWeGrow
