Name, hometown, corps: My name is Aaron Austin Brown. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas. I have marched with the Bluecoats for three years, and I will march my final one with Bluecoats as the color guard captain.
4) Performing an awesome show for thousands of people to enjoy. Best thing about being a drum corps leader: The best thing is being able to represent something that you hold close to your heart and soul. The Bluecoats are forever a part of me and I am proud to be able to experience what I have with them. Worst thing about being a drum corps leader: It's a lifelong philosophy that my father taught me. That is that every negative thing that happens in your life can be turned around and used as a positive. So I don't look at it as worst, I look at it as an opportunity to learn about myself. There is no worst thing; there are only things that make you grow. It is all experience! During tour, the best part of the day is: Any time that I spend out of the sun and anytime I get to enjoy the activity (oh, the later is practically 24/7, by the way). During tour, the worst part of the day is: Forgetting to put on sunscreen. Oww! Favorite drum corps personality and why: Rosie Miller (member of Bluecoats). It was great, every day she would make my day. Like the time when she got hurt so bad that she was on crutches and I beat her to the porta potty in South Carolina from 150 yards away and she was like 20 feet, and then I locked her out. Unfortunately I was breathing really hard when I locked the door to keep her out of the porta potty. Eww! What do you want to be when your drum corps career is over? I want to work for a research group working on new techniques in chemical engineering.
