We are very excited to announce the expansion of our Board of Directors as well as some corps staff promotions!
-- Mr. Branden Listh comes to us as the Director of Bands at Newaygo Public Schools. The Board voted to seat Branden as the Interim Director of Community Partnerships due to his tireless work to secure NLDBC's relationship with NPS Bands and the Newaygo Community at large. Mr. Listh's fantastic rehearsal, musical, and logistical insights also earned him a corps staff promotion to Assistant Corps Director. -- Caleb Salame is a familiar sight around Northern Lights rehearsals, piloting drones to capture footage and setting up recording equipment for the staff on our Media Team. However, Caleb has a professional background in marketing and accounting with Acrisure as well, and was voted to sit as our Interim Director of Financial Development. -- Doug Olmstead is the corps' seated Board Vice President and serves in both an Operations Director and Brass Coordinator role for the corps. The admin team has consolidated Doug's tasks and updated his title to Corps Director, working alongside our Executive Director to focus on educational pedagogy and logistics planning. |

Hi! AJ, your Volunteer Coordinator / Secretary of the Board here (I also march tuba this year)! March camp already feels like so long ago…and April so far has been flying by! One more camp to go this month, on the 20th! Who’s HYPE? I would like to shout out to the selected volunteers who played Easter Brass for the United Methodist Church of the Dunes on….well, Easter of course. Community involvement in music is a big reason I love drum corps, and that love shined through on Easter service with everyone making it such a special day (brass, bells, singers, and organ, oh my!!!…and I got to play timpani!) Well done Mat, Mike, Rich, Kirby, Sage, Ryan, Kassandra, Mitchell, Brooklyn, and Doug........................ |
