Eric Carr – Quad Technician
Eric's drum corps career first began in 2007 with the Bushwackers. It was there were he was able to acquire many of the skills needed to be successful as a player, marcher, and teacher.
Eric marched two seasons with Jersey Surf in 2008-2009, and completed his age-out with Carolina Crown in 2010, as tenor section leader. Eric also marched four seasons of WGI with United Percussion from 2008-2011, being tenor section leader in his last three years. Eric competed in the DCI tenor Individual & Ensemble competition in 2009, receiving 2nd place. Eric also competed in PASIC tenor Individual & Ensemble competition in 2009 and 2010, receiving 3rd in 2009 and was the 1st place, world champion in 2010.
"I am so excited to finally be teaching at the drum corps level!", said Eric after hearing he will be teaching Bush quads.
Eric has much teaching experience with local high school marching bands and indoor percussion ensembles. He has worked with Deptford, Highland, Washington Township, and Pitman high schools. Eric will also be helping out with United Percussion's tenorline in their upcoming season. Eric gives private lessons to several students in the area, as well.
Eric is currently a full-time student at Rowan University, majoring in music education. Aside from creating the "My Hertas" video (as seen on youtube) Eric spends much of his time practicing classical percussion, teaching, and writing.
