Current Staff



Rachel Yen



Eternal Regiment Director



Rachel Yen is a senior at Milpitas High School. She has been in Color Guard since 8th grade. Rachel likes baking desserts and watching Netflix shows and movies in her free time. True to her East Asian roots, Rachel also watches traditional Chinese dramas with her mom whenever they have time. One fun fact about Rachel is that she gets sunburnt very easily, even after putting on sunscreen. She may or may not be mildly allergic to the sun. If Rachel could be any animal, she would be a cow because they don’t have to do anything other than eat, sleep, and walk around at a leisurely pace. Cows are also pretty intimidating, so no one will bother her and Rachel can get her quality alone time.
