Since the events of Drum Corps International's top members getting exposed to CNG as a result of Bendraqi's interference, specific furries have become superheroes, but the G-52 handbook states one has to be 18 before he or she can become a G-52. However, given the circumstances, all DCI members that got immortalized are guaranteed to become G-52s once they reach their 18th birthday.

Patriotic Pioneer is a unique case. He was a performer with the Pioneer Drum and Bugle Corps, playing the bass drum, but he wanted the corps to be pure. He and five of his friends ended up exposing a staff member that turned out to be a sex offender, who was promptly fired from the staff (and I'm guessing arrested); all six then wanted nothing more to do with the corps, or even with Wisconsin, and they moved to Wildcat City in search of a better and purer life of music. He now strictly plays for the G-52 Drum and Bugle Corps, as do his five friends.

G-52s (C) me and me alone, although some of them (i.e. Bass Boomer) are joint-owned by me and  Chuong. See my bios gallery for which is which.

Editor's notes: The story about the corps being suspended due to violations of health and safety laws of DCI, and the story of the sex offender, are both true stories. They've been modified to fit the bio of this character, and no names were changed to protect the innocent.
