Camp Director

Cap Corduan

This is Cap’s third year as director of the Camp and she has been with the Camp as an instructor since its inception. Cap started out in drum Corps when she was 9 years old and joined the Nutmeg Volunteers Junior Ancients from Groton, CT. When she aged out of Nutmeg she joined the Westbrook Seniors which allowed her time to play fife and drum as well as go to college. Cap received her BFA in Technical Theatre/ Design and headed west to the University of Illinois to pursue her Master’s Degree. While there she was a member of the March Illini. Upon completion of her Master’s degree she moved back to New England to teach design at the Walnut Hill School of Performing Arts in MA. Soon she found herself as a member of the Middlesex County Volunteers and was their assistant director for 5 years. Cap left MCV when she moved back to CT and then played with The Connecticut Valley Field Music for a number of years. During this time she had the privilege of “studying” with Dennis and Bobby McGowan. ( It was more like hangout with really cool guys!) It was through these men that Cap learned the idea of “ancient easy” drumming. With that in mind she co-founded the Bluff Point Quahog Diggers Band where she is their ring leader. Cap also plays with The Grand Republic Fife and Drum Corps.

Cap is the Head of Technical Theatre at Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, MA.

Sue Gozzo Andrews serves as the Camp Administrative Assistant. For the last twenty years, Sue has been the baton twirler for St. Peter’s Drum Corps, where her husband is also a fifer; together they have performed in over 500 parades and in 7 foreign countries.

Sue is an accredited National Baton Twirling Association Judge and an Amateur Athletic Union Twirling Judge and has judged at local, state, regional and national levels.

As her children’s interest in fifing and drumming grew, Philip (plays snare) and Simon (plays bass), Sue decided to learn to play the fife at the ripe old age of 40. When her St. Peter’s schedule permits, she performs as a fifer with the Yalesville Senior Ancient Fife & Drum Corps. Sue’s children represent the fourth generation of drum corps in Sue’s family.
