Today's spotlight on the staff is our new percussion technician: Meghan Christian
Meghan is another former Brigade member and I am very excited to have her join the staff this year! Her main focus will be the bass drum line and I am expecting great things from both her and the guys and gal playing BD's this season! Meghan marched in Brigade from 2002 - 2006. She spent one year on bass drum and moved up to snare in 2003 - the first of two straight years of high percussion titles at MACBDA (most people think we should have had the percussion title for three years in a row.....but, whatever!). In her age-out year of 2006, she was section leader and it was really great to see her graduate with the Brigade's first championship! Meghan could always be counted on to shout out at the audience at the end of shows in an effort to get them "on their feet".
Meghan is currently attending the University of Wisconsin - Eau Clarie and is working towards a degree in graphic design. I had the pleasure of teaching Meghan way back at Mitchell Middle School and I have always been able to count on her leadership abilities and talent. I am very excited to be able to work with her on staff and I am sure the members will, too. The only bad news for Meghan is that because she is a rookie staff member - her job at the end of each Brigade show is to go to the press box and get the staff our judges tapes. Sorry, Meghan....you have to pay your dues!!
Next week: Matt Gesiler - percussion technician
