As long as I’ve got my friends…🌀 I have so many feelings about this indoor season, and all of them stem from how incredibly grateful I am for the experience and the people UP2 has given me.

🫶 To my fellow UP2 performers, thank you for accepting me so late in the season and taking me in as one of your own.
📀 To the staff, thank you for putting your all into our show and to us as people, I am a whole different performer because of all of you.
💜 To Sam specifically, thank you for being the strongest person I know and in turn teaching me how to be strong; and that my potential is not finite if I don’t want it to be. @samthejam04
🥁 And to Jacob, thank you for all the rides, and for opening me up to the world of UP2. Without you I don’t know if I ever would have marched indoor again, and I am infinitely grateful to you for that. I finally got to Dayton, a dream of mine for years, because of you and your kindness. @jacob_fickas
🫧 To my cymbal line. Thank you for your patience with me and your talent. You all are amazing players, & it was an honor to march with you all.
🌈 And finally, to the 🆙stairs groupchat. Thank you for being my friends. I hope more than anything we stay in touch and march together again.

The Masons - GMU 2026

There are so many yet so little words to say. Being apart of this activity since 2018 has shaped me into who I am today. Thank you to everyone I’ve had the honor of marching next to throughout those years, and to those who have instructed me to be where I am today. I am lucky to say I wouldn’t have wanted my last season any other way.

Endless amounts of gratitude and love. Thank you, GMU💚💛

#12OZSTUDIOS TURNS 21 TODAY!!!

It was on this date that @alexfelicianoart first opened 12 oz. Studios when the shop was originally located on New Broadway in Brooklawn, NJ. Fast forward to two landmark locations housing some of the most talented tattoo artists, three @safepiercing piercers performing safe and reliable piercing while carrying top of the line body jewelry, permanent cosmetics at our Deptford location and the addition of our sister tattoo shop; @uniontattoolocal168 in Bellmawr, NJ!

It should go without saying but the reason for our continued success is not only our incredible staff and the work they do, but the love and support from YOU, the greatest clients in the world! We look forward to many more years ahead of providing the best in tattoos, body piercing, and permanent cosmetics. Thank you to everyone who has crossed our path these 21 years. Here's to many, many more!

As our high school percussion students move on to their college and university ensembles, we continue to add new instructional staff to prepare those students. Yesterday we welcomed a new guest teacher, Samantha Short, to come in and work with some of our students on marching cymbal technique.

Samantha marched cymbals in DCA with the Bushwackers (2022-24) and also marched in WGI with United Percussion in 2023 & 2024. She will be teaching United Percussion 2 in the 2026 season.

Stay tuned for new program offerings!

And just like that, the 2025 seasons has come to an end. Performing on the finals floor again under bright lights and a rush of adrenaline has been the one thing I’ve been missing since high school. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way to allow me to continue my dream and passion for music. Thank you to all of my friends and staff members who made this season so monumental. This UP2 season wouldn’t have been the same without you 🖤❤️

Special thank you to @lesophiatu for all the amazing pictures throughout the season :)
