Please help us congratulate our commander, Ms. McCallum, on her promotion to Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2). Ms. McCallum conducts the concert band and plays piano with the Hot 7 Traditional Jazz Band. Congratulations, ma'am!

In November, we welcomed Specialist Elisha Dion to the 101st Army Band. Elisha joins us as a percussionist. He was in the active duty Army as an IT Specialist from February 2019 until September of this year. He served with the 516th Signal Brigade at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii and 1 Infantry Division at Fort Riley, Kansas. Since leaving active duty, he has been working in IT as a network engineer and is planning to start college for network management in January. Welcome to the team, Specialist Dion!
 

Last month we celebrated Staff Sergeant Tom Seidl's retirement after over 20 years of service with the United States Army. Tom has played tuba and sousaphone with the 101st Army Band since 2010. He also served with the 132nd Army Band in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. We will miss Tom's youthful energy, willingness to talk to anyone, and, of course, the mustache.
