During the COVID 19 lock down, Trevor kept his spirits up by trying to keep everything in his life as normal as he could. He continued to work, attend school and kept faith that even though the corps did not have an in person season in 2020, that he would still get the chance to have a drum corps experience with the Troopers in 2021.
"In 2021, I’m excited that we’re starting to see a little bit of normalcy, and actually having a DCI season, even though it’s not exactly how we all would like it. It’s still amazing to see how far we’ve come and the steps we’ve taken as a community to try and bring DCI back as much as we possibly can."
His top three goals for the Troopers are as follows:
Have as normal of a season as humanly possible.
Meet amazing new people from across the country.
And most importantly, have fun!
