Spc. Marvin Forbes hopes to become a triple-threat entertainer – singer, dancer and actor – during the 2013 U.S. Army Soldier Show tour. He received a berth in the Soldier Show live auditions by singing his way into the 2012 Operation Rising Star Live Finals at Joint Base San Antonio Fort Sam Houston. Now he hopes to turn it up a notch or few. “Being on the stage and putting on a show is something that I’m pretty good at, for an amateur, but it’s not something that I’ve been accustomed to,” said Forbes, 22, a native of Long Island, N.Y., who grew up in Columbus, Ga. “I’m used to just singing. I really hope to get a good idea of singing correctly, which I hope to get from Mr. [Joey] Beebe, choreography, which I hope to get from Miss Amy [Lynn Miles] and just all the knowledge that’s in this place in general. Just being in a show altogether professionally will be a first-time experience for me.” U.S. Army photo by Tim Hipps, IMCOM Public Affairs
