Morrow County native and 2017 Highland High School graduate Eric Vermillion (front-left) is marching his final season in the Ohio State University marching band drumline. Serving as assistant squad leader, he has earned the honor of leading the 24-member percussion section onto the Ohio Stadium field while performing the famous ramp entrance. His final home game will be Nov. 26, when the Buckeyes take on traditional rival Michigan, and Vermillion will be the first band member on the grass field for his farewell college performance. Vermillion will graduate from OSU magna cum laude with a bachelor of science degree in natural resource management.
