UMass’ Thom Hannum, Jim Ancona, and Nick Angelis will join fellow BLAST! alumnus Jim Mason.
Hannum was selected for his long-standing dedication, achievements and leadership skills within the drum and bugle corps fraternity.
The Cadets have locked in a dynamic and talented group of percussionists to guide the 2009 section.
The number of UMass alumni teaching drum corps has now reached more than 34, with 19 different corps! In DCI alone, nine out of the current top 12 finalists have been represented by UMass alumni.
