Terri Schehr Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) My goodness. Read his resume. He’s very accomplished. He’s a great add for the Scouts. Jim Elvord thinks he measures up and that’s good enough for me. Edited October 4, 2018 by Terri Schehr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a world class resume. I was all for change but this one seems risky. Then again, things cant get much worse for the Scouts. BUT...Chuck is a jazz guy so if Madison goes back to jazz I'm in. Their brass arranger has no prior drum corps arranging credits... but Chuck Naffier needs a stronger resume? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 10 hours ago, FlamMan said: A middle school band director??? Sometimes music educators do not work at the high school level so they have time to do outside music activities...like drum corps for example. A high school position requires a much larger time investment for activities like jazz ensembles, musicals, small ensembles (percussion/WW/Brass, etc...) and most importantly marching band. A middle or elementary position also permits the teacher to have more time for personal performance opportunities, composing, arranging, etc. Not sure why that is being viewed as a negative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on, MikeD. That's too logical to think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I recall that Santa Clara did ok under Royer, and his music specialty was strings. Chuck Naffier enjoys the greatest respect among his peers. The Scouts have scored a real coup with this acquisition. P.S. I won the Dream, but only once.
