Music for All unites passionate students
(AP) — In the group of 20 high school students twirling color-guard sabers on Ball State University's campus Tuesday, Austin Crawely stood out.
The odds of Crawely, a high school junior, finding another male color guard member were much higher during Music for All's Summer Symposium, a weeklong music camp that draws students from across the country.
On Tuesday, he practiced with the camp's elite class, which he had to audition for, among other students who similarly made color guard their life.
Makhaila Dudley, from Dayton, Ohio, just graduated from high school and is starting as an instructor's assistant for the guard at her school.
Lindsey is from Atlanta, Georgia, and attended the camp at Ball State as a student for three years, then returned as a staff member this year.
The marching band will also appear in a DCI Central Indiana performance July 1 at Scheumann Stadium.
