What the Marching Storm Means to Me

The Marching Storm has meant many things to many people over the years. This past summer we started a new series called Humans of the Storm. Get to know some of our Marching Storm members by reading their thoughts. Also, check out the documentary below put together by Marching Storm Alumni Ricky Garza and Lewis Suarez that allows members of the Marching Storm to talk about what it takes to be a member and what the Marching Storm means to them. Also included are brief interviews of the new members of the Marching Storm Directorial Staff.
