Another #Cadets Guard Mini-Reunion. There’s no one I’d rather hear scream “STADIUM LIIIIIGHTS!!!” than the amazingly talented and impassioned teacher, Rebekah Chadderdon. Bekah Chadderdon (Cadets of Bergen County Guard ‘97-‘99, Cadets Guard ‘00-‘03) Marcus “The Matrix” Hopkins (Cadets Guard ‘01-‘03) Shhh: My corps jacket still reads “Cadets of Bergen County” #DCI2018 #Finals #CBCCG #FHNSAB (at Lucas Oil Stadium)
Another #CBCCG #Cadets Guard Mini-Reunion. Vanessa Borelly and I shared a lovely half-free/laundry day in Texas in 2003, where she received a rare phone call from home and spoke to her mother. A wonderful slice of life, from a wonderful friend, performer, and instructor.

One of my absolute inspirations and muses, the venerable, legendary, and inimitable Denise Bonfiglio, who I was lucky enough to have been taught by at #CBCCG ‘01-‘03. (at Lucas Oil Stadium)

Katie Hopkins, at the tender age 13 was treated to my Rookie Talent: Performing “Sweet Transvestite” in front of the entire 2001 Cadets corps...in costume and sung live.
