Hello everyone! My name is Kristen and 1998 was my first year in the Sunrisers. I feel very honored to have been asked to be a drum major in this corps. I want to thank everyone for making me feel at home in Sun. I would especially like to thank Joe Vala for giving me this opportunity and Tom Willms for being a great mentor and friend.

My previous drum corps experience includes marching in the Hawthorne Caballeros from '95-'97 as a soprano and '98 Innuendo winter colorguard as "Sporty Spice."

I am currently a student at Orange County Community College in Middletown,NY with an undeclared major. Before that I went to William Paterson University in NJ as a music education major. I am not certain if music is the field I want to enter so until I decide I am just taking general education courses at OCCC.

I just opened a new e-mail account so if anyone wants to drop me a line go right ahead.
