Former DGN Drum Majors Conducting DCI World Class Ensembles

Former DGN Trojan Marching Band Drum Majors Carissa Blumka (Class of 2021) and Aidan Purcell (Class of 2019) are traveling the country this summer as conductors of two World Class drum and bugle corps, associated with Drum Corps International. 

Blumka (Colts), and Purcell (Blue Stars), are both serving as field conductors for their respective corps. Both ensembles, a part of the marching arts umbrella organization Drum Corps International, are participating in DCI's 50th Anniversary Tour, and will conclude their competitive summer season at the Drum Corps International World Championships in Indianapolis, IN, August 8-13. 

Congratulations to both Carissa and Aidan on their appointment to each of these World Class drum and bugle corps!
