And on the 8th day, we started our day with yoga and ended our day with a double rainbow.

Our male lead. 

We, are Spirit of Atlanta. 

Learn a little about our family as well as Drum Corps. Take a few minutes while you play on Tumblr and listen to this wonderful broadcast. 

Brooke is 17 years old and a senior at Gainesville High School in Gainesville, Florida. She has been in her band’s marching program and winterguard for all four years of her high school career. After she comes off the road with Spirit of Atlanta this summer, she will be attending the University of Florida, where she will be major in either nursing or be pre-med in biology. When asked why Spirit, she said, "I choose to audition with Spirit because it was close to home, and I've worked with Spirit's new guard staff before. I knew I'd love to spend a summer with Kevin Griner. I also knew that if I didn't do guard right after graduating high school, I'd never do it again. I love guard too much for graduating to be the end of it". She said that guard has been a healthy outlet and given her a community when she did not feel comfortable anywhere else. Well Brooke, we hope you feel right at home with us this summer! For more #MemberMondays, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.

Though this is Logan’s first year as a snare drummer for Spirit, he has also been involved with Asheville High School’s Marching Band, Western Carolina University Pride of the Mountains Marching Band, and Civitas Independent Indoor Percussion. He has also played drum set with several bands around Asheville, one of which is a popular funk group known as "Lyric." He said he has even opened for a band known as "Hey Rosetta!", a very musically talented group from Canada. When asked why Spirit, Logan said, "I chose to audition for Spirit of Atlanta because I've heard so many positive things about the connections people have made here, and because the corps has one of the best alumni organizations out there. I also like Spirit's image and how greatly it is respected as a corps. In addition, I have always been a fan of the battery, which I am now humbled the be a part of!” He said he is mostly looking forward to meeting new people, as that is one of his favorite things as well as throwing down with the bears (Which is the nickname for Spirit’s snare line) and the rest of the drumline all summer. A fun fact from Logan: "I have an auto immune disorder known as Alopecia that causes my immune system to attack my hair follicles, which is why I don't have hair. No worries, because I am very comfortable and open about it; my fellow marchers at Civitas even call me "Slick." I also benefit from this condition, because my immune system is inherently stronger as a result." For more #MemberMondays, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.
