2009 Drumline Leadership
Reid Berdanier: Rberdani@syr.edu
Senior - Snare
This will be my fourth (and, sadly, my last) season on the SU Drumline and my third playing in the snare section. I'm a senior in the Mechanical Engineering program hailing from Ohio (and South Dakota...long story). Aside from band, I also participate in the Bowling Club, and a number of programs within the College of Engineering. I love working out, running, biking, hiking, swimming, golf, ping-pong, snowboarding - you name it, I've probably done it. I'm really excited about what this marching season will have to offer, both for our amazing Drumline and the band as a whole. I wish you all a good summer and hope to see you in August. Please feel free to contact me via email at rberdani@syr.edu with any questions that you might have!

Sup Guys? I'm Patrick Kearney (pronounced car-knee) and I'll be the tenor section leader this year. This year will be my fourth year in the SUMB and I couldn't be more excited for the season to start! We got a lot of cool music to learn this year, and I hope together we can make it sound awesome! I am a senior Music Industry major, and if you have any questions about the SUMB, the Music School, College, meaning of life, etc...please feel free to email me at PKearney@syr.edu or on AIM at Krndogg138. Can't wait to meet all of you!
Mike Monacelli: mpmonace@syr.edu
Junior - Surdo
Hey everyone! My names is Mike Monacelli, and I will be one of your drumline section learders this year. I am a junior Music Industry major in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. I enjoy watching Syracuse sports, going to the movies, pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain (just kidding...kinda). If you have questions about drumline, college, or anything else, please don't hesitate to email me at mpmonace@syr.edu or messaging me on Facebook. I know that this is going to be our greatest season ever, and I am excited to get back to CNY to see all of you. To the vets: I hope you are all enjoying your time off. To the rookies: I hope you are excited for school and marching band. It's going to be awesome. Have a great summer and practice hard!
