From Alan Katz:

“The Hawthorne Caballeros would like to thank Marc Garside for his more than 5 years as percussion caption head and arranger with the corps. The master recruiter, his get it done attitude, and dedication to the corps will never be forgotten. We are very grateful for all the work he has done, the thousands of miles he has logged each weekend, and the sleepless nights he has put in all of these years. We wish Marc, his wife, Laura, and Epic Percussion nothing but the best of luck with their future endeavors.”
