I could not have asked for better groups of staff and students to spend my weekends with the past couple months. Thank you to Motor City and Grandville Independent for always showing up ready to work while also having a blast! I’m so proud of each and every one of you! Till next time 🫡 by @nikisitaras

2025 was probably one of the hardest yet most rewarding years I’ve experienced yet. Graduated college, focused on my mental and physical health/wellness, aged out of wgi, travelled more, made new friends, learned a lot of life lessons, and took more chances. I’m excited to see what 2026 has in store, and I got plans to make the absolute most of it. Cheers to a great year and thank you to everyone that made it memorable 💖 by @nikisitaras

Finally got to cross off one of my major concert bucket list items and see my favorite band in the pit. Absolutely life changing experience and got to meet and chat with so many down to earth people❤️‍🔥 taken in TQL Stadium by @nikisitaras

Bachelor of Science 🎓

It’s been a long but memorable 5 years here and I’m so excited to see what my next chapter of life has in store. I got to walk back in April with my friends and finally finished up my last couple summer classes as of yesterday, so it’s official I’m graduated now!! After the disaster of what happened with graduating in 2020, this was such a rewarding and emotional comeback. Now on to bigger and better things

Also swipe to the end to see a few flicks from my HS graduation that I never ended up posting 🥲 by @nikisitaras

Now that I’m officially aged out, I wanted to thank all of my instructors and peers for being a part of the amazing experiences and lessons I learned over the years. Every one of you have had such a major positive impact on my life and have helped shape me into the person I am today. I love you all❤️

Walled Lake 17+18:
Thank you for being my introduction to this activity, I never would’ve continued this after high school without these 2 seasons.

Ascension 2022:
Thank you for teaching me how to build something from the ground up and to trust the process.

Motor City 2023:
Thank you for teaching me how to dive head first into the uncomfortable and open up a whole new pathway for me. This was my first season in front ensemble, and I honestly had no idea what I was doing walking into it but it was a safe space for me to learn.

River City Rhythm 2023:
Thank you for teaching me how to persevere through any hardships thrown my way and for being my introduction to drum corps. I never knew I wanted to march DCI, but I gave it a try here and absolutely loved it.

Cap City 2 2024:
Thank you for showing me how to put 100% effort into everything I do all the way till the very last note of the season. Winning a WGI bronze medal was never something I expected to achieve, but this was probably the most unforgettable and rewarding season I’ve ever experienced.

Music City 2024:
Thank you for showing me that family doesn’t have to be blood. I loved all the people I marched with this season, and they will always hold a very special place in my heart. We not only had fun everyday, but we achieved so much as musicians also and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to age out of with.

Redline 2025:
Thank you for showing me that everything happens for a reason. I honestly didn’t expect to end up here for my ageout, but I’m so glad I did. The people I met, the opportunities I was given, and the instructional staff I had in front of me helped push me to the next level as a drumset player and as a person. I think this season taught me the most valuable lessons out of all, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have ended up here at the time I did. by @nikisitaras

Redline 2025💗🔫🔫

Thank you for giving me a home and one hell of an ageout season. I came into this season a little uncertain of how things would go, but I put my trust into the staff and members and they absolutely delivered. Inside Out is one of my favorite shows I’ve ever had the honor of getting to perform alongside my friends. I really grew so much as a person, performer, and drummer this season, and I am leaving WGI with no regrets. It was so nice to come back to Michigan for the age out, and march with so many people I’ve known for years and marched with at other groups previously. This group really allowed me and provided me the resources to take my drumming to the next level, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing opportunity Redline has given me. I had such fun show beats this year, and I constantly felt I was being challenged all the way till the very last day of the season. I’m so excited to see the next chapter of Redline, and where the group will take this momentum moving forward. I’m sad my time as a WGI performer has come to an end, but I hope to be able to give back to the community moving forward. This activity has truly changed my life, and I am forever grateful for the experiences it has given me and for the people I have met along the way.

Thank you Redline❤️ ageout rageout.
