The Fivesters Notes of Doom

The Fivesters Corps Camp this weekend marked an awesome challenge for the kids and staff. Many of our returning kids are still adapting to the new staff members this year. Our staff is really excited to work with such a wonderful group of kids this year.
The drum majors will be announced soon as well...

Report from the Brass Caption Head Tommy Jamison.
"The kids are really glad to be back and I am glad for them to enjoy something out of this group. The music has its demands and I am sure the demands will be met before mid-season. The Hornline has been working tremendously on the show concept. There will be a feature at one point of the show which will become public as soon as the season starts. These guys truly have what it takes to get out there and march what we ask. I can tell that from what I have seen of them in the past the Brass is moving along the right line. They had a rough year last year but this year we will hope to come out strong."

Report from Percussion Caption Phil Hansen

"The Intensity that I see from the drummers just gives me goosebumps about accepting this position. I believe the guys and girls I have in my drumline can make a top 5 line in Division II. They have been drumming for most of the year since the last season and that is exciting to just think about. The staff did not know how the music will get along with the line but as soon as they read it and started playing it I knew this could be a success. Some of the guys are upset about moving down a division but I believe it is for the best of the corps to do so in this time. This corps has not been around for long and I believe they will be a powerhouse soon enough."

The Fivesters are proud to announce their new drum majors.

Landon Waters, Kat Yills, and Hunter Fraggs.

Landon Waters is the current lead drum major for the Fivesters. He has served as the Brass Sergeant for the Fivesters for the past year. He was the lead drum major for his high school band and the Brass Captain as well. He is currently going through the Music Education program at Western University.

Kat Yills has been drum major for her high school for the past two years. She was also a member of the guard before assuming her major positions. She is thinking about pursuing graphic design as her major in college at MTSU next year.

Hunter Fraggs comes to us from the United Kingdom. He is currently going through an exchange program with his university. He is studying at the University of Tennessee Martin with his concentration on Business.

The Fivesters Notes of Doom

"A Day in the life of Hunter Fraggs"

Hunter Fraggs is from the United Kingdom, he watched the drum corps activity over there but was astounded when he came to the US through an exchange program. He comes from a musical family of conductors, musicians, and singers. He assumed the responsibility of drum major after finding out a good corps around the area.

Hunter- "I never though I would be doing a drum corps over here, most of my life I wanted to do one in the UK but never found the actual time to join. I am so excited about this oppurtunity given to me in the US and this will make my stay more enjoyable."

Hunter- "As far as going home after, I really cannot express my desire to stay or go. I love my family and I wish I could see them sometime during the summer but they are so far away that it will be difficult. I have no idea if I will just transfer and stay in the US till I finish or just go back after corps is over."

Hunter-"I have played the mellophone and french horn but I am currently just working on being a conductor during my free time. The reason of me choosing business is that things change everyday and I would love to be part of that change unlike conducting an orchestra, the only thing that changes there is the music for now.

"A Day in the life of a drummer"
An close-up in the life of the center snare Ryan Anderson.

Ryan is currently studying in the University of Tennessee in Knoxville where he served center snare for his sophomore and junior year. He is close to finishing his years in high school and this will be his ageout year. He was with the Music City Fivesters last season but was promoted to Drum Captain and center snare this season. He was also the center snare his junior year and well as drum captain. His senior year he played center tenors and fulfilled the spot of drum captain as well. He is currently a music ed major at UTK.

Ryan-"I chose to do corps two years ago and found a spot here in the Fivesters, I was glad to just be marching where I was offered a spot. I do love the Cavaliers and SCV but I was glad to be here and be given such a title that comes with great honor to me."

Ryan-"From the experiences back in high school things have been a little bit better for me. The staff has been so helpful and has contributed twice as what they actually get. I am happy that they do listen to ideas given by members from time to time. Personally, I think that ideas come and go but it really takes more than a couple of minds to find a great one."

Ryan-"This year is my age out year and I will definately enjoy and I will be ready to play every second of it. This is the year to give it my best and have no regrets of marching or messing something up. If I do mess something up then I know that I would have recovered it as best as possible."

"A close-up look at the Visual side of the road"
An interview with Guard Caption Head Austin Hunter and Guard Captain Lacy Asters

Lacy-"Being Guard Captain this year definately made my age out year become a memorable one. Things are hard to do but I always seem to find a spot where everything just comes together and then everything runs smoothly."

Austin-"This is my first year in this organization and I really like how everything takes its place. I love working with these kids that come every camp and give it all they can and then go back to school the next day."

Lacy-"I am definately looking forward to the summer and it will mean that this is the best summer of my life."

Austin-"This summer the Fivesters will unfold a corps that has never revealed themselves before."
