Ansley announced departure to pursue acting

In September 2004, Ansley announced his departure to pursue an acting career. The next departure was Egan, who left on January 22, 2005, before Streetlight Manifesto began the Ska Is Dead 2 tour, headlining alongside MU330 and the Voodoo Glow Skulls . Delano Bonner came in to play trumpet starting on January 25, 2005, performing at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. Dan Ross had planned to leave after the Ska Is Dead 2 tour to pursue a business career, but was forced to leave early just before the end of the tour due to a family crisis. He would later go on to teach math at Piscataway High School . He was replaced by Mike Brown, whose first concert was at the start of the European tour. Brown’s first concert in the United States was on May 31, 2005 in Baltimore .
