Design Team Complete For 2013
Atlanta CV has added two new key members to the design team for the 2013 season. Brass arranger Jair Klarfeld and drill designer Brian Youngblood will be working closely with Program Coordinator Victor Mooney and Caption Heads Alan Armstrong, Chris Romanowski and Carlos Gonzalez to produce CV’s 2013 program “Carpe Caelum: Seize The Heavens.”
Klarfeld, who resides in San Antonio, TX, has more than 20 years of experience arranging for bands, jazz and concert ensembles and drum and bugle corps. More than 400 groups have performed his works, including marching bands at the highest levels of Bands Of America Grand Nationals, BOA Regional competitions, USSBA State competitions and other prestigious venues.
CV 2013 Percussion Staff
I am extremely excited to announce our Percussion Staff here at Atlanta CV for the 2013 season. The wealth of knowledge that they bring to the table is impressive and very exciting. With our front ensemble, Mr. J.T. Snell is returning for 2013, as well as Mr. Eric Brown with our battery section. Mr. Matthew Manturuk who is currently in the Annapolis Navy Band is returning as our Front Ensemble Arranger.
New to 2013, Dr. Jeff Grant brings a wealth of percussion experience to our front ensemble. He earned his Doctorate in Percussion from Southern Miss where he studied with John Wooten, and is a former member of the Spirit of Atlanta ('92/'93) and the Cavaliers ('95).
