Brass and Frontline: Joe Rodwell - Cadence would like to welcome Joe Rodwell who is taking over brass arranging duties from Damon Bates who has been our arranger since 2010. We thank Damon for all his hard work and support over the past few seasons. Joe Rodwell is well known throughout the Drum Corps world and a well respected musician and composer in the "real world".

Battery Percussion: Vicki Batley-Spalding - Vicki is now in her sixth year writing and teaching Cadence. Vicki has marched in a number of top UK corps including Blue Eagles, Sunrisers and the Senators. She has also marched in the USA with the Boston Crusaders. As a former New Surrey Raiders Alumni Vicki is one our many "home grown" design team members.

Visual Design: Bobbie Clifford - Bobbie has been with the Corps for many years. She started with New Surrey Raiders in 1991 playing Mellophone and stayed with the Corps through to the merger with Cadence in 1997. She spent a year with Golden Garrison Winterguard in 1996 and also marched Mellophone with Southern Aurora in 2005. Bobbie was one of the original staff members to keep the Corps going after the Main Corps became inactive in 2005, she has been Visual Caption head since 2006.

He has also marched in DCUK with the Squires Drum & Bugle Corps during their most successful period in the mid 1990s. Ian marched in WGUK with Golden Garrison and Oracle Open. This is his first year with Cadence and we would like to welcome him to the TBRM family.
Kayleigh joined Cadence in 1995 on Colourguard. She marched and then taught the Guard every season until the Corps folded in 2005. She also marched several years with Southern Knights in WGUK.
