Interests:Founder & Executive Director, The Drum Corps Heritage Project. Founded in 2012, The Drum Corps Heritage Project (DCHP) is a historical society which seeks to document, preserve and make available the records the drum and bugle corps community throughout North America (namely the United States and Canada), past and present, by way of performance, public advocacy and education. This consortium consists of paid and voluntary staff members who are knowledgeable about the traditions specific to the history of the North American drum and bugle corps. In time, we seek to develop a museum for the preservation of artifacts and ephemera from the drum corps activity, a special-collections archive for ongoing research and scholarship, and a performance hall to keep the music of the drum and bugle corps alive.
