Atlanta CorpsVets Brass, Front Ensemble Arrangers Announced

Atlanta CV is proud to announce that Michael Martin and Matthew Manturuk have joined the CV Creative and Design team for the 2012 season. Mr. Martin will serve as the brass arranger and Mr. Manturuk as the front ensemble arranger this season.
