Madison Scouts Welcome Chuck Naffier As Brass Caption Manager

Is he or is he not a middle school band director? He taught the Colts and Crossmen. Woot woot.  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?

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.

Come on, MikeD. That's too logical to think.

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.
