Aaron Goldberg
Aaron Goldberg joined the Crossmen in 1998. After taking a year off, he returned as the featured baritone soloist in 2000 and 2001. It would be difficult to find a drum corps fan that wouldn’t identify his baritone solos as some of the best on the field during those years. Immediately after aging out, Aaron joined the brass staff where he served for nine years, the first six years as baritone tech and the last three as brass caption head.
In addition to having marched 3 highly successful years of drum corps, Aaron’s experience with the Tony and Emmy award winning production of “Blast”, allowed him to share with corps members a unique insight into the highest levels of performance in the world. As a performer, Aaron wowed crowds and set a positive example for his peers. However, his time on the brass staff is where he made his biggest impact. An iconic performer in the corps, Aaron immediately garnered the respect and admiration of new members, and solidified those feelings by teaching with enthusiasm and passion. He knew when to push just a little and when to push harder.
Aaron served the Crossmen while the corps was going through difficult times. In 2005, the Crossmen dropped out of Finals for the first time in 16 years. In 2006, after another tumultuous year on and off the field with rumors rumbling about the future of the corps, the Crossmen moved to its new home in San Antonio, TX. During this time, Aaron proved to be a pillar of stability through numerous staff overhauls and was the embodiment of what the Crossmen represent.
