tesmusic Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Chris is a brilliant musician and educator. His ensembles at Lake Central are top notch, and he was very influential both on and off the field during his time on Madison's visual staff. This a great opportunity for the corps, and the fact that he is coming back the same year as BZ and Van Mathews is quite incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeN Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 He is also a freelance musician on his principal instruments - trumpet, piano and organ. There can't be that big a market for a freelance organist, can there? Heck of a resume, though. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouttimp Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Awesome news! The real question: does the original Lemon Squeeze shirt he wore every day for years still exist? (I own one, btw, and wouldn't sell it for ((almost)) any price) Edited October 23, 2015 by scouttimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike NW Indiana/Chicago area is where he resides and works. You'd be surprised how many organ gigs there are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tesmusic Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Indiana? Yes, St John, Indiana. Although I see him in Chicago almost every moment he's not with the band. He may as well love there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
