40 Years of Excellence... Thom Hannum!

Post by kemipa » Sun Apr 21, 2019 10:03 am

Hey Minuteman Band Fans -

DID YA KNOW?

We're celebrating FORTY YEARS with Thom Hannum at the helm of our inimitable UMass Drumline!

FUN FACTS
  • He and George Parks marched together at West Chester University.
  • He came to the UMMB as a graduate assistant in the fall of 1980.
  • He was hired full-time and earned his master's in 1984.
  • His 1987 Garfield Cadets earned the first (and only!) perfect percussion score in a DCI championship.
  • He earned a technical foul while leading the Hoop Band in one of Coach Cal's games at the Cage!
  • He was named to the Drum Corps International Hall of Fame in 2001.
  • He wrote the percussion music for the Tony-award winning Broadway show "Blast!".
THOM HANNUM SCHOLARSHIP FUND

To honor Thom's commitment to excellence for the Minuteman Band, this year we're endowing a new scholarship to benefit the UMass Drumline. Please help us make this a reality before the the band's 2019 season!
