Many years ago my sister marched with Crossmen Drum and Bugle Corps at the same time that Colin McNutt worked with them. I traveled with the corps doing odd jobs that summer (cooking, washing busses, etc.).

I confess: I bought this stick only because I found the signature name, Colin McNutt, endearing. Poor gentleman, going through life with a name one step worse than Marty McFly from Back To The Future…he deserves our support! Something tells me that his wife kept her maiden name.

Winner! Thank you,…
