PercussiveEric Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Memphis Sound is excited to announce the appointment of Corey Smith as Corps Director. Corey has a broad background in drum corps beginning with two years as a marching member in Memphis Blues, then marching three years with the 27th Lancers and finally two years with the Madison Scouts, aging out with them in their 1988 championship season. Additionally, Corey performed with the Thunderbolts Winter Guard from Cedarburg, WI. He was also a member of the 2006 Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Corps. A native of Southaven, MS, Corey attended the University of Memphis where he was a member of the marching and concert bands playing baritone and trombone. During his time at the University, Corey also performed with their winter guard and was Color Guard Captain. His focus of studies included majoring in English with a minor in Business. Corey has taught and judged high school marching bands for almost twenty years. He taught in Tennessee, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Arkansas, including a 3-time Arkansas Governor's Cup Champoin. His judging has been mainly in the AR/TN/MS area. He has also performed with musical groups at Berkeley and Juilliard in New York City and at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. For 13 years Corey worked for Harrah's Casino and then Resorts, Entertainment. He progressed from table games dealer, to supervisor, to Manager on Duty and finally, to Assistant Casino (Games) Manager. Most recently he was the Tour Director for the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps from February to September 2007. Memphis Sound is excited to have Corey at the helm and looking forward to building upon the success of its championship season in 2007.

Memphis Sound's Staff Page as of today... Maybe Corey asked for something he shouldn't have? Like...maybe...a paycheck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brace Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Don't assume....you are wrong so Corey worked out "at the helm." Look, it's Memphis Sound...one of the revolving doors of drum corps directors. I'd be interested in hearing how wrong I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldingna Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 so Corey worked out "at the helm." Look, it's Memphis Sound...one of the revolving doors of drum corps directors. I'd be interested in hearing how wrong I am. Tom, as much as I definitely enjoy your posts, I wouldn't call Memphis a revolving door quite yet. They had one new director last year, and they're trying to get back on track this year. By the way, how's the family? I haven't seen you guys since I was stationed in Great Lakes back in 2000.

rockinbrass Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Trey Moore (Inception to 2006) Mike Mccray (2 months) Andre Fegin (2007) Corey Smith ( 2 months 2008) Doesn't seem like a revolving door Basically only two directors in the history of the group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
