alexnielsen Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The Bushwackers are pleased to announce that Rob Stein will be back in 2008 to continue his great work with the Bushwackers Brassline. Rob’s strengths in both music and visual have been great assets to The Bushwackers since Rob joined the staff in 2005. And, along with Key Poulan (Brass Arranger) and Joe Exley (Brass Caption Head and Music Director), he will be part of the trio of Blue Devils alumni who will be collaborating to maintain and enhance Bush’s reputation for having a first-class Brass program. Rob is a graduate of The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, holding both a Master's degree in music education, and a Bachelor's degree in trumpet performance. As a music educator in both the private and public setting, his experience includes extensive work with drum corps, marching bands, jazz bands, wind ensembles, pit orchestras and private lesson studios. Rob is also the co-founder of "Standing 'O' - Marching Arts Specialists", a business that specializes in musical composition and services for marching bands. Rob started his drum corps career marching with the Jersey Surf Drum and Bugle corps for 6 years, spending 4 in the brassline, and 2 as drum major. Rob finished aging out with 2 years at the Concord Blue Devils playing upper lead trumpet. Rob has been a consultant for many schools in the tri-state area, and is currently writing musical arrangements for the 2007 outdoor season. In addition, Rob is a consultant with Dynamic Marching, based in Carmel, Indiana, and is a judge for both Cavalcade of Bands and USSBA marching circuits this season. Rob is an elementary instrumental music teacher in the East Windsor Regional School District in East Windsor, NJ, and is also a member of the adjunct faculty for the school of music at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. In 2005, Rob joined the Bushwackers staff shortly after returning from DCI Finals, and he has been a highly valued member of the team ever since, both on the field and off. We are delighted that he will be returning to do more of his great work with the brassline. Quote from Rob Stein: "It has been an honor and a pleasure to be a part of this organization over the past few years. I'm really looking forward to the coming season and aiding to put out another outstanding product by the Bushwackers!"
