Scouts Announce 2009 Front Ensemble Staff

After two years on the Scouts’ front ensemble staff, Brad Meyer will assume the role of caption head for the 2009 season. Joining him are four new front ensemble staff members: Colin Brown, Reid Paxton, Matt Nadolny, and Ben Potts.

Brad is a doctoral student in percussion performance at the University of Kentucky under James Campbell. He has extensive knowledge of world music which is highly applicable in his role with the Scouts. “Brad has been instrumental to the growth of the front ensemble since 07, there is no one better to lead us forward in 2009,” said Corps Director Dann Petersen. “This year will see the advent of electronics and each corps will be finding their own interpretation,” continued Petersen. “Brad fully understands how this change can strengthen the Scouts’ paradigm.”
