"We have a great deal of momentum building in the Colts percussion program, and many would agree that the level of performance and design achieved last year showed tremendous growth and success," said Orwoll.

"We are pleased to have Max back with us where he will continue to help the Colts percussion program reach new levels of excellence."

Max is excited about the opportunity to work with the talented staff that has been assembled for the 2010 season, both the returning and the new faces. Additional appointments to the percussion staff will be announced here in the coming days.
