Congrats to former Lake Howell Band Student Tony Escapa (1995-1998), currently on tour as the drum set player for Ricky Martin!

Tony Escapa is the son of pianist and arranger Antonio Escapa, who played in Ricky Martin's first group, Menudo. Surrounded by Puerto Rico's best musicians, Tony started playing guitar at age ten and switched to drums at age 11. Moving with his family from Puerto Rico to Orlando, Florida, at age 14, Tony won several awards. After graduation from Lake Howell in 1998, Tony returned to Puerto Rico to gain experience, performing at the Heineken Jazz Festival in San Juan in 1999 with percussionists Giovanni Hidalgo and Paoli Mejias. That summer, Tony won a $12,000 scholarship at the "Berklee in Puerto Rico" program. Since coming to Berklee School of Music in January 2000, Tony has been the drummer in faculty percussionist Egui Castrillo's band. Tony left the Berklee School of Music to tour with Ricky Martin as his drummer.

	Old Tug	New Tug

Check it out, TUG has new digs! Actually, TUG is wearing the new uniform. As many of you know The Silver Regiment is getting new uniforms later this month. Well we couldn't forget giving TUG a new uniform, so there you have it, the new TUG.

Just in case you do not know or forgot, TUG is the Silver Regiment's, mascot. TUG stands for "Thumbs Up Guy," and he has been around for a very long time - since the early 80's I think. TUG should also look familiar, as he is based on Tom Wilson's cartoon, Ziggy - not to be confused with David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust."

Don't worry; the old TUG will still be around. We are in the process of creating an archives and alumni section on this website. The old TUG will be there.

Silver Regiment member, Jonathan Do has video of the Silver Regiment preforming at the Tarpon Springs Outdoor Music Festival, on Oct. 15, 2005.
