Susan, Thanks so much for your inspiring story! I used to play the trumpet, and think of myself as pretty knowledgeable about music, but I had never heard of a baritone bugle until you mentioned it! How did you get to play such a niche instrument?

What's your "cast member" role at Disney now (I recently learned that employees at Disney are called cast members)? Do you still play the baritone bugle?

And since Toys for Tots has played such an important role in your life (by the way, thank you for being vulnerable), are you still involved with them. Is Disney?

Thanks!! Sorry for the numerous questions, but your story is a great one and I want to learn more!

Hello Hugo,
My family had been involved in Drum and Bugle Corps since the 1960's. I grew up performing with various drum and bugle corps through my childhood and it drove my enlistment into the Marine Corps since it is the only branch of service with a drum and bugle corps. At Disney, I work in global marketing helping manage marketing technology solutions for Disney Parks digital and direct advertising. I do still play the baritone bugle and will be competing at DCI (Drum Corps International) and DCA (Drum Corps Association) Finals this year. I still volunteer with Toys for Tots through Disney. Disney is very closely connected to Toys for Tots. It was the artists at Disney that created the 3 train logo for Toys for Tots. Thousands of cast members help support the Toys for Tots effort through Disney each year nationwide.

Sgt Susan Finnigan As awesome, thank you so much!

And a great piece of trivia, that Disney artists designed the Toys for Tots logo!
