2010 Star United Award Winners Announced

 

Indianapolis, Ind., November 12, 2010 -- Star United held its annual awards banquet at Chatham Tap in Fishers on Friday evening. Members of the corps (past and present) attended the event along with special guest and DCI luminary Dennis Delucia.

 

Five performers were recognized by corps Director Sean Conley for their contributions to the 2010 season:

 

Rookie of the Year: Scott McCoy

All of the new members made a big impact, but none more than Scott. He always came prepared and added another dimension to the corps’ sound. Scott also provide a great deal of organizational help behind the scenes.

McCoy

 

 

 

Member of the Year:  Brian Kraft

Brian's contributions are numerous, including an outstanding job as visual designer. Always unselfish, Brian volunteered to give up his spot on the stage to ensure that the visual program was able to comply with DCA rules while utilizing available performers. 

Kraft

 

 

 

Brad Stansberry Award: Aaron Steele

This award is presented to the person "who best epitomizes the Star United "esprit de corps" through his spirit, enthusiasm, and work ethic." There are several people who embody Brad's spirit. Aaron isn't always the most vocal person in the group, but emerges to provide leadership at critical times.

Jonathan Miller Award: Angela Zoss

This award is presented to Angela Zoss, who is always well prepared and happy to be there. She leads by example, is first to volunteer, and participates in everything. Championship organizations don't happen without committed members like Angela.

Director's Award: Brad Poreda

This new award was established this year to recognize the special efforts of a member who went “above and beyond” the call of duty in 2010. Brad traveled an enormous distance to participate with the corps and spend an estimated 50-100 hours in preparing music for Star United.
