Nichole “Nikki” Ely marched in Phantom Regiment’s color guard from 1988-95. The Pekin, Ill., native earned a spot in the color guard as a 14-year-old and eventually would become the guard’s C.O. A scholarship was started in 2007 to keep Nikki’s memory alive as drum corps and the Phantom Regiment meant so much to her. (Only applicable to Phantom Regiment current guard members).
