That being said, I wonder what the reason is for this seemingly lateral move in careers. Pay is probably better and he is now THE executive director instead of director of programs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2muchcoffeeman Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Speaking of Blue Devils . . . Brass CH/arranger John Meehan has agreed to write the brass book for Troopers in 2019. I didn't see that coming. After six years of Robert W. Smith -- and some very good Robert W. Smith -- this could be a new turn for Troop.

Jason Harrison Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Also see the Rennick’s with the Troopers. Are they doing double duty or is SCV looking for another lead design position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is Adam Sage (@Cadets & Troops); so is Michael Klesch for several seasons now @ Academy & Carolina Crown; so is Doug Thower at a few places besides Bloo. Nothing new here.

Drboned Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Newbie question. Is there a shortage of talented designers? God bless the designers working for 2, 3 or more corps yet, how does the young designer get a shot at the DCI level if you don’t let them work at that level? Its like not being hired for your first job because you don’t have enough experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it is like your 1st job, just because one marches does not mean they can teach, mistakes like this are made often and no different than it's ever been. HS programs can be a start BUT even there often the best is sought after. Patience, like in everything is needed and desire and never think you are beyond learning no matter how long one is doing this. It's the only reason for longevity. Without this most come and go.. Just my opinion as someone who has been around. Another thing, many think they are designers BUT need to know the talent is also a Tech. A good tech is worth their weight in gold and many more and sought after positions there than for designers. Not everyone needs to be the creator BUT the creator needs those who can make it happen.
