The educational and recruiting benefits to both groups will be very good. We are both excited to help provide percussionists with more opportunities to perform with some of the best staff I have had the privilege to know and work with. I am excited to be able to coordinate our efforts to give the members of PSU Indoor a positive educational and competitive experience." Brendan Fullam is the Director of the 2012 -13 Penn State Indoor Drumline and Marc Garside is the 2012 Percussion Caption Head for the Hawthorne Caballeros. Marc and Brendan will manage the partnership. Brendan’s percussion and teaching experience includes marching and performing with the 2000 Reading Buccaneers, the 2002 Empire Statesmen, 2002 – 03 Penn State Indoor Drumline; Teaching the 2003 DCA World Champion Hawthorne Caballeros, and the 2004 and 2005 Hawthorne Caballeros; and he has taught at Mifflinburg High School, Lewisburg High School, Jersey Shore High School, Williamsport High School, Milton High School, and Line Mountain High School.

Starting with only a few individuals looking to keep up their drumming skills throughout the winter, this small group of players soon realized that Penn State and its collection of extremely talented musicians had something to offer the world of indoor marching percussion theatre. As the years progressed, the group acquired a diverse collection of players beyond just snare, tenor, bass, and cymbals. It added mallets and auxiliary percussion, and was soon performing at high schools in the indoor percussion circuits of Pennsylvania. In 2004, PSID opened its membership to talented percussionists that were not from Penn State. This change along with the talents of the staff and performers have contributed to 13 years of award-winning seasons, including 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2009 WGI Percussion Independent Open Class Finalists, 1999 and 2006 WGI Percussion Independent Open Class Bronze Medalists; 2007 and 2008 WGI Percussion Independent Open Class Silver Medalists; 2000 and 2001 WGI Percussion University Class Champions and the 2000 WGI Percussion Independent Open Class Champions.
