As many of you may know, Sean McGrath has decided not to return for this season as Pit Instructor. He made this decision based upon the basic economics as the situation. He lives in Centerville, drives a full sized van, gas is nearly $4.00 a gallon, and he doesn't get paid enough to pay for all of the gas he has to buy to get here.
SO....
Casey Layer will be joining the band staff this year as the Pit Instructor. Casey spent four years on the snare line here at Tipp City and three years as section leader. Casey is a very accomplished young percussionist who worked very hard and consistently passed expectations. Casey is not simply a drummer, he is a percussionist. Through years of lessons and personal study Casey developed his skills as a mallet player as well. Along with spending time with the Pit, Casey will also spend some time with the battery percussion. I am very excited about having Casey join us on staff. His skills as a musician and leader will be a great asset for the percussion section and the band as a whole.
