Leah is Derek’s girlfriend. They met while he was teaching Trition Regional School Winter Percussion. She was in charge of the color guard and has been doing this for a few years. As a matter of fact she was one of the people that interviewed Derek. They have been dating more seriously since April and seem very happy. Leah just turned 24 and is a graduate of Syracuse University. She has a job as a video editor. She’s not sure this will be life-long passion and is thinking about going back to school to perhaps be a teacher.
For those of you who know Derek you know how picky an eater he is. The irony is Leah is a vegan. I’m not brave enough to invite her for dinner but I did tell Derek I wouldn’t be offended if she wanted to bring her own food. She is also quite tall as they are both standing in this picture.
Drum Corp is really picking up for Derek now. He has been marching in parades weekly and Monday is their first competition in Bridgeport, CT. There will be several local competitions before they go on tour at the end of July. He’s very excited about competing. Below are some samples of Spartans in the past. Drum Corp is very disciplined, military-like and a fantastic opportunity for anyone that is tough enough to handle it.
