Spirit Drum & Bugle Corps

Spirit is excited to announce the corps has been selected to present a clinic session at the upcoming 2010 Georgia Music Educators Association In-Service Conference in Savannah, GA.

Spirit  Director of Education and Programming Mark Waymire will lead a team of clinicians to include brass co-caption heads, Todd Snead and Andy Putnam along with special guest Freddy Martin, renown brass pedagogue, long time Georgia Music Educator, and founder of Spirit drum and bugle corps, in a session that will provide valuable insight into how a DCI World Class drum corps develops brass performance fundamentals and technique, along with early season ensemble rehearsal strategies that can be used in the school wind program.

In making the announcement Spirit Executive Director Joel Vincent states, “We are very pleased to be re-establishing the corps’ connections with the professional music educators in Georgia and the greater Southeast region. We are honored to have been invited to share our approach to brass performance with GMEA members and look forward to a long-lasting partnership between our organization and the music education community of Georgia.”

GMEA is a comprehensive state-wide organization that provides valuable information, services, and training to teachers and students of music at all levels.
