She went on to spend three seasons with Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps. Starting in 2004, Erin was a seven-year member of the Black Watch Winter Guard of Mount Laurel, NJ and was chosen captain in 2008. In 2011, she took on a new role with Black Watch, beginning teaching as part of the movement staff. Erin’s first color guard teaching experience was with the Middle Township Nuance Winter Guard.
