Jonathan Fox

Charter Member-2004 Graduate

The years that I spent in Fife and Drum were one of the most beneficial experiences I had growing up. Not only did I make a lot of rockin' friends within the group, but it also taught me some very important life skills. During my time in the corps I had the opportunity to lead the drum section as the head drummer. For me, that responsibility served as a catalyst for leadership growth. Also, I learned the value that history has in our modern culture. History is NOT just an interesting story about a bunch of funny dressed people fighting wars and struggling to survive without all of our modern comforts! It is the foundation for our way of life now. F & D makes a point of explaining to the participants the reasons and the traditions behind items many of us would have taken for granted. Now that I have graduated from the corps, I use my leadership skills nearly every day in a variety of situations from my job to group assignments in school. The history that I learned continues to give me an appreciation for how our country was founded and my heritage as an American. And hey! I got to learn the drum as well. --Jon Fox
