#170275 - 08/23/08 12:41 PM Mike McIntosh resigns from Bluecoats
Toe Registered: 04/07/03 Loc: Miami, Fl	http://www.bluecoats.com/news_detail.asp?news_id=272 (Canton, Ohio) - 8/22/2008 After five years of serving as the Bluecoat's Music Coordinator and Battery Arranger, Michael McIntosh has resigned from his position with the corps. "The Bluecoats provided me with a sense of family and a chance to compete at the highest level, and although I am stepping away I believe they are set-up for a successful future. I am grateful for my experiences with the corps and I will keep them close for a long time as I re-direct my energy into my passion for family, friends, electronic music and digital design," said McIntosh. "Mike played an integral role in putting together a percussion program that finished in the top three the past three years." said Bluecoats' Executive Director David Glasgow. "I thank him for his hard work, dedication, creativity and friendship, and wish him nothing but the best in his very bright future." An announcement will be made soon regarding the exciting plans already in place for the future of the Bluecoats percussion program. _________________________ T.

drumholio Registered: 09/05/00 Loc: Tullahoma, TN	I think Gwaltney would be a very good choice. Spirit's line was underrated in my opinion, and his work with Mystique is well known. However, Kuhn seems like the obvious choice, but I have no clue whether or not he wants to do anything other than consult (like he has since he left Cavies). Either one of those two options would provide a good future for bluecoats. _________________________ <-----Ryan Patrick Smith Proud Member of Future Drummers of America

kevin_fu Registered: 06/16/00 Loc: Southern MD	It'd be cool to see Gusseck come back. Other than Gwaltney and Kuhn, I don't know who else would be, well, available to take over other than someone fairly new to the position in DCI (World class, atleast). _________________________ -Kevin Instructor/Tech Northern HS - Owings, MD \| Winter '03 - Fall '04 Patuxent HS - Lusby, MD \| Fall '06 Huntingtown HS - Huntingtown, MD \| Fall '07 Project PIW - Pittsburgh, PA \| '05 - Cymbals Promote Tolerance\|Go Redskins!
