Are you coming home to stay?
Or will you spend this summer driving me insane?
Peyton Luoma was the newest & most promising member of Maverick Drum and Bugle Corps. Emphasis on was, since he isn't around anymore. R.I.P, 1995-2014. Maverick misses you, Luoma - fly high! Obituary
Payton Luoma was a beloved member of the Dayton community. At only 19 years old, he was the light of every room. On August 4th of 2014, performing in his first finals performance with Maverick Drum and Bugle corps on 2nd trumpet, he was in a horrific accident. After a season of his injuries being ignored by Maverick staff, his knee gave out in a company front during the finale of his show. Having broken his shin on the fall down, he had stumbled off of the field and fell onto the drum major's stand, hitting his head and snapping his neck. He was pronounced dead 10 minutes after being carried off the field. His family remembers him as a bright, young soul with passion for life. Our deepest wishes and condolences go out to the Maverick and Luoma families.
would be steven's last night in town. 
Peyton is a troubled mess of a boy. 5'11 with sun-bleached blonde hair, he was a ray of sunshine to everybody he was around, an optimist to his core. He really thought everything would work out for him if he just kept putting in the effort. Unfortunately, the world didn't have that plan for him.
After his incident (see Obituary), his idealism is slightly harder to come by, but he still hopes for the best in people. If you're kind to him, he'll be kind to you. He adores all things drum corps, old cinema and beachy stuff.
He still misses his friends at Maverick. Maya, his closest friend and tour girlfriend, is who he'll miss the most. It's very possible he'll be able to move on eventually, but it will take time.
