Colts DBC 2026

Did I wait forever to make this post? Yeah I did, so what? I’ve got a full time job, indoor auditions, and student loans to pay off. Don’t judge me. What more could you ask for in your ageout season? I got a cool book, a fun drum, and some great friends. A million thanks to all the people that made this dream possible. It’s been great to have all this time to remember all the great moments that we got to share this summer, and y’all deserve the world for everything you have done. The colts are doing some great things, the one percent is at its greatest, and I get to watch it all happen again next year from the stands. Shoutout to the MFCFEMF and the next generation of the one percent. It’s all about love and trust.

“Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question ...

Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.”
-T.S. Eliot

Thank you Red Team 🔺♥️!

This has been the best age-out summer I could ever ask for. This season has been a dream come true and then some. Bringing in the new percussion team has brought such a fresh feel to the Colts and despite it being their first year with the organization, we became something way beyond what most expected. Thank you Travis and his team for taking me in and making me feel so welcome and at home. I have become part of what is in my opinion the best family in DCI. RTS ‘26 is the closest snare-line I have ever been part of and I am so glad I get to call you guys not just friends, but family. Grateful is an understatement of how I feel to have this opportunity. I love you all and these moments I will cherish for the rest of my life. Here’s to future seasons of box drill in the lot 😂.
@joe_fridsariddle your morning warm-ups will be deeply missed 😂. Dashes and grapevine business is the way to go 😤.

Day 65:
DC FREE DAY 🇺🇸
We got there and had like 3 hour floor time in the auditorium and then woke up and got to the dorms. They are SO nice it’s like an apartment and the shower is soooooo peak.
Doordashed Dunkin and it was pretty good.
We walked to the train and it was so cool being on a train it was my first ride it was super chill. We got to DC and the train station was super cool. We got food and then walked to the Smithsonian which was cool. The crystals and gems were awesome that was my fav part. Then we went to the Washington monument and I took some really funny pics that I prob can’t post here bahaha but they are awesome. Me and Lily took each others pics. We then went to see Abe and it was my fav thing we saw super cool to be able to see it in person. The walk was so far that the girls ubered back to the train station which was def the move. And then we got food and I stress bought 3 DC shirts because the train was like 5 mins out and I couldn’t decide. But they are all fire.
We got back and I yapped with hikaru for a while. And then Boston Tommy and Dexter (my roomies) and ate my jersey mikes 😩 it was buss. Then chilled with some guard peeps and talked to Willie and then went back to the room and yapped some more before bed. Chill free day.
Annapolis show tomorrow

Day 57:
Dallas show day (cursed)
Age outs started counting down the days and I was about to start crying just thinking about it. I don’t even know what imma do when the season ends. I’m going to miss this group of people a lot.
We had ensemble in the morning and we did every chunk like one time and moved on and it was awesome. It was cool seeing what our first reps were knowing we were prob not gonna get another one and seeing how good they actually were.
Second block we had full batt and perc ens in the shade which was nice. We worked a lot on the perc feature and it got so much better it feels great now that I finally understand my check points.
We got to the show and got all the drums out went to the bathroom padded on the bus and it randomly started down pouring and we had to grab everything super fast and put it on the trailer. It stopped in like 10 minutes and we went to warmup. It was SO muggy and hot and gross out it was actually awful I haven’t sweat that much all season besides the one day we had in Kansas like my face was pouring sweat it was awful. I also felt pretty bad in the lot and my feet and ankles started to hurt which made it suck more. I was locked in like I jsut wanted to do my job well and be down for the night and I think I did the best I could with the circumstances. The lot was super good. We were playing very well and Travis said something to us that made me actually open my eyes and ears to how well we were playing and how good we actually are like we were playing some really clean reps which is hard to like realize sometimes.
The show went okay it wasn’t terrible but personally wasn’t as good as San an the night before.
After the show my feet and ankles hurt so bad I couldn’t stand for a bit it was sharp pain and it like was unbearable for a bit. It sucked and hurt a lot. I had to walk back to the bus barefoot and iced them for a while and that definitely helped.
I got to see uncle Ray Ray for a little while probably for the last time this season. And then I got to hang out with Dawson one last time this season :( he got me their snack and we hung out till bis. Imma miss him a lot.
One block tomorrow and laundry and buccees!

Day 54:
First Texas show!
We had two blocks one subs/perc ens
And then the next was perc ens/ Full ens
We were playing really well this morning and during ensemble. Vibes were so up ensemble was really good.
Then we EPLd and left for the show.
Called my momma which was nice and saw my kitties.
Got so see some scouts and Tony at the show 😋
The weather all day was so peak best weather we’ve had all season. It was lowkey sprinkling but it felt good bc the rain was cold and it was warm outside.
We got to meet the BK bassline which was really fun we haven’t gotten to meet any other basslines yet as a full bassline.
We also are never getting any pictures 🚁(trb)
Tonight was the first night I actually looked at everyone in the stretch circle and started to tear up. This season is coming to an end way faster than I’d like it to. We have 24 days left. I don’t wanna go home yet. Everyone here is family and it’s gonna be so odd when I go home and everyone is gone. It’s gonna feel empty for sure. I’ve never felt this sense of family with a battery at this level before. It’s what I dreamed of having when I started this journey and I’m so glad I got this group of people for my age out. ❤️
The lot got fucked and we had to move in the middle of two pits and batteries and it was really hard to hear anything and I know the etudes weren’t the best but I didn’t care because I trusted everyone and knew that it was what it was and I know we were gonna throw down in the show. The energy was so high yet so calm I’ve never felt that relaxed before. The hugs before the show and the high vibes made that the best run we’ve ever had. The amount of trust and sense of family was so strong I knew that that was gonna be an amazing run in the stretch circle before we even played a note. Damn near the whole battery raised their hands for hats and the whole bassline raised their hands. I’ve never had a show where everyone in my section and the battery raised their hands it was such an amazing feeling. The score was a nice touch for sure. But nothing will beat that feeling of brotherhood. Genuinely one of the best shows I’ve ever had marching. I’m gonna remember this one. Thank you MFRT🔺❤️

Hey everyone!

I am very happy to announce that this past weekend I have been selected as a member of the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps for my age out summer of DCI. This activity has been a huge part of my life and one of my biggest dreams since I was a child and I cannot put into words how thankful I am for this opportunity. I will get to tour the country performing in all kinds of large events and competitions performing at the most elite level in the marching arts. With that being said, this activity is very expensive and tour fees cost $6200 this year and I have $4600 left to pay. The deadline for tour fees is May 23rd so I am doing a sponsor fundraiser to help with the cost of tour and it would mean everything to me if you guys could donate and help me live my dream one more time. Any amount is deeply appreciated! Anything donated will go directly to my tour fees. Here is a link that will take you directly to the place to donate. Also, if you do donate, make sure to put me name (Ethan Shepherd) in the box so the money goes directly to my tuition.
