Valenzuela joins Phantom Regiment
Rick Valenzuela has joined the Phantom Regiment as director of development and special projects to its management team. Valenzuela, 37, has a long and distinguished career in the drum corps activity beginning as a member of the world-renowned Santa Clara Vanguard in 1983.
As development director for Phantom Regiment, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2006, Valenzuela will be responsible for expanding the organization's donor base, growing its revenue streams and assisting with educational programs. Currently, Phantom Regiment runs a drum and bugle corps, a drum major camp, a snare drum camp, a fall marching band festival and two drum corps shows.
Plans are in the works for a color guard camp, a third drum corps show, a music and marching camp for high school students, and an entertainment ensemble to perform at local minor-league sports events. He also will assist corps director Patrick Seidling in planning the drum corps' summer competitive season.
"I'm honored and thrilled to be working for an organization with a very long and rich history," said Valenzuela, who is moving from Roseville - California, to the Rock River Valley with his wife and two young children. "I have already met many of those heavily involved with the Regiment and have seen the sense of family and belonging with all of them."
