My name is Gregory M. Kuzma (GM for short) author of the book, On the field from Denver, Colorado -The Blue Knights! One member's experience of the 1994 summer national tour and I'd like to welcome you to Company Front.

The intent of this column is to be a forum where you can inquire about any topic related to drum and bugle corps or marching band. One thing that makes this column unique is that I will share it with three other marching arts book authors; Colt Foutz, author of Building the Green Machine, Jeremy 'Spike' Van Wert, author of Not for the Faint of Heart, and Courtney Brandt, author of The Line. The four of us will provide a different perspective on the marching arts activity and will take turns providing our thoughts, passions, and inspirations. We will also answer any questions readers may have as well as do our best to cover suggested topics.
