Donny Drum Corps Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 All great moves... not only an Arlington connection, but Brentwood, Sachem, Hicksville, Walt Whitman, Port Chester et al. All of these band programs are very strong competitive marching bands in USSBA, MAC, and of course NYSFBC. Mia will a great staff addition. I remember her from when I taught at the Brigs in 98. Combined with Rich, Joe Sitler, Tommy Martin and the rest of the brass staff, watch for this group to not only be bigger, but better as well. Overall, it would seem that the Sunrisers are really making many great moves toward the future of the corps. IMHO the best solutions in staff moves of any corps in this off season. Best of luck to you guys. Good moves Sunrisers! Donny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
