Matt first worked with Brigade in 2006, our championship year. Those who were around in 2006 remember Matt as "that staff member who always had his collars up"! Matt is one of the most laid back and mellow people you will ever meet - but just spend a few minutes watching him help a battery member learn a hard percussion "lick" and you will see why he is a terrific person to have on staff.
Matt is a former marching member of the Green Beret (yes - that Green Beret!!) He also marched with the Capital Sound Drum and Bugle Corps. He was not on staff in 2007 because he marched the full DCI season with the Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps. Matt is a student at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and also works part time at the movie theater in Janesville. If you ask him nicely - maybe he can get you a cool movie display or movie poster!
Matt is going to be a huge asset to us this season as he works with two "rookie" quint players (rookie is in quotation marks because we have a three year veteran playing quints for the first time and one rookie member marching his first year). If you get the chance during the season - kick back and drop by to say hi to Matt. If you hang around long enough - you will see why he is a cool cat and all around nice dude!
Next week: our new visual technician - Danny Greenberg
Today's marching member "shout-out" goes out to: Ryan (alto saxophone)
