trmdrum Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The Empire Statesmen are thrilled to announce most of the design team for the upcoming 2006 season. Assuming the responsibilites for the Percussion Arranging will be Colin McNutt. McNutt has instructed and arranged for the Star of Indiana Drum and Bugle Corps, and the popular stage production, Blast! He has also written for and instructed the Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps the Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps and Magic of Orlando. Colin has served on the faculty of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he is an alumnus and received degrees in Classics and Music Education. Currently, he is percussion arranger and caption head for the Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps from Madison, WI. We welcome Colin to the Statesmen Family. Taking over the role of Brass Arranger will be Jerry Kelsey. Kelsey is no stranger to the Statesmen Organization as he was involved with the Corps as an instructor and arranger from 1997-2000. Jerry has been active in the drum corps community for thirty years working with the likes of Suncoast Sound, Crossmen, and Florida Wave just to name a few. Through his business: Custom Arranging Services, he is an arranger/composer for many high school marching bands all across the United States. Currently Jerry also works with the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps and the Racine Kilties Senior Drum and Bugle Corps. Returning for his 6th season as the Visual Designer for the Statesmen is Mr. Jamey Thompson. Jamey, who has written the drill for numerous top-notch drum corps shows over the past several years (Glassmen Drum & Bugle Corps from 1997 to 2002 and the Madison Scouts Drum & Bugle Corps in 2003 and 2004), currently holds the position of drill designer for Phantom Regiment. Jamey has been involved in the activity as a marching member, designer or adjudicator for more than 20 years.
