We'd love to hear from you!
As we continue to grow the Corps, we've added some new instructors to the team. Late last year, Johnny Molina, Jr. joined the Crimson Kings as a drum instructor. He has marched with the Cadets of New York City and the Sprit of Newark. While he pursues a degree in music education at Lehman College, he's working hard at helping build a solid Crimson Kings drumline. Get to know him better with the following Q&A session. CK: Please describe your teaching style.
As we continue to grow the Crimson Kings, we are seeking a guard instructor to teach and build a guard line in the heart of New York City's Chinatown. You must have a clean record and experience teaching youth groups ages 7 to 22. You should be a patient team player with initiative interested in assisting further development of national and color guard programs. You are enthusiastic, works well with youths, and loves everything there is to love about color guard and drum corps activities. You will be responsible for teaching a range of experience levels but mostly beginners, creating routines, and working towards developing a winter guard program.
After wrapping up last year's parade season with the Double Ten parade, we made it a point to freshen up room 408, or as most members call it -- The Office. We added a new couch for guests, parents and potential members to sit on. A large plasma television was donated to the Corps in which we mounted onto the wall. The biggest change though was replacing all the photos of yesteryear that had been hanging on the office walls for at least five years.
