Success Stories

  • "Going from being a Silent Command student to instructor has been one of the most fulfilling, full-circle moments ever! When I first came to Silent Command, I had no idea the impact this organization would have on me. Now, I’m glad to be giving back to the community that has taught me so much."

    —Jonathan Dominguez, Drum Major, Phantom Regiment

  • “As a Silent Command student, what was once an unreachable dream turned into a real community of welcoming performers who cared about my success. After my first season, I knew I wanted to give back to the marching arts, and show students that you don’t need an elaborate marching arts background to become successful in this activity. With the support of Silent Command, I have the foundation to do exactly that.”

    —Emma Shiffer, Drum Major, Spirit of Atlanta

  • “Taking lessons with Silent Command helped me realize that I really could find a place in drum corps. It felt like I had a guide who made the towering mountain seem a little bit smaller because of how much the dedicated instructors cared about my progress and success. With their help, I was able to fight for my dream I never thought was possible, and find my home with Santa Clara. Now, as a staff member, I have the opportunity help other students find a path to their dream. Both as a student and an instructor, Silent Command has given me the network and family I never knew I needed to develop as a performer, teacher, and musician. Who wouldn’t want a family to share the laughs and challenges of this amazing activity with? It’s incredible.”

    —Yash Mahadkar, Drum Major, Santa Clara Vanguard

  • “As a student with Silent Command, I loved learning and working with my lesson teacher. Whether through conducting, leadership development, audition preparation, or simply sharing stories, each experience shaped my growth. I found a family and community within Silent Command that supported me every step of the way throughout my drum corps journey. Now, as an educator, I share my own knowledge and stories with students while also carrying forward the lessons and stories my lesson teacher shared with me. Through the love, family, and support I gained at Silent Command, I have grown into a better person and strive to pass those values on to future generations.”

    —Linda Segura, Drum Major, Battalion
