NorthCoast Academy is proud to announce a few new members to the family!

We welcome the addition of Bret Kuhn to the design team!   Bret will be responsible for writing the battery parts this season.   Bret comes to us with a wealth of experience and we look forward to what he can bring to the organization.

Our new ensemble director is Joe Shuker.  Joe has been consulting for us since 2004.   In 2003, Joe was the snare tech for our Independent Open World Champion season.

Nick Pourcho has been named Assistant Director for the 2010 season.   Nick is not new to the family as he is our front ensemble arranger, but it is a new title for him.

More detailed staff announcements will be made in the late summer or early fall.   Thanks for your interest in NorthCoast Academy!
