A Season with the Blue Stars, Step by Step
Session Description: The La Crosse Blue Stars is one of the best drum and bugle corps in the world, performing and competing on the elite Drum Corps International tour. The 200-plus member group travels 14,000 miles on 11 vehicles, serves 80,000+ meals, visits 45 cities, and entertains hundreds of thousands of fans each summer.
In this behind-the-scenes look at running an elite, performing arts non-profit, you will learn about the challenges and lessons of planning, executing, and funding the experience of a lifetime for 150 young adults.

After aging out of the corps in 1993, he served in a variety of capacities, including Visual Caption Head, Drill Designer, and Program Coordinator, among others. In 2003 Brad served as the corps' Interim Director, and he became the organization's full-time executive director in 2006.
