Know Your Brigade Staff

     The next staff member in the spotlight is Steve Lange - one of our percussion technicians.  Steve joined us in 2006, our championship year, and has been a terrific addition to our staff.  Steve can pretty much always be counted on to fix any type of drum using only a rubber band, stick of gum, a penny, or a toothpick!  Steve is an all around great guy and will also "River Dance" for you if you request it of him!  If you are ever having problems in math class - you can also ask Steve for some help!  Now on to my Q & A with Steve:
