The Cadets



The Cadets will be led in 2010 by returning drum majors Chris Zentner and Ben Pouncey along with Kate Klontz who served as a conductor in 2009. "I am excited about the leadership team that has been put together for this season and I cannot wait for the year to get underway," said Pouncey. The drum majors will be joined by other leaders who have been selected in the brass, percussion and color guard sections. These corps members have an impressive 35-year total of combined experience with the Cadets.
