2010-2011 Assistant Drum Major Abe Go
Congratulations to Abe Go on his
Superior Plaque at USA Drum Major Camp
2010 at San Jose State!!!
Abe Go started at Riordan in the freshman band picking up the flute and moving his way up to Intermediate Band while playing in the pit in Riordan's first Winter Indoor Drumline and competed at multiple competitions with the drumline.
Abe has played on Riordan's golf and JV Basketball teams and is leaning towards reviving his childhood sport of baseball and trying out for Riordan's JV Baseball team.
When Abe auditioned for the role of drum major last year, part of his audition included competing in Riordan's first L-pattern competition appearance in the Hawaiian Invitational held at Kamehameha High School. He performed his L-pattern routine to the theme from "Top Gun."
In Summer 2010, Abe participated in USA Drum Major Camp at San Jose State University and was the first Riordan drum major to be placed in the Advanced Spinning Class. He was the only drum major in the Advanced Spinning Class to receive a Superior score of 90+. He is the third drum major from Riordan to receive the Superior plaque, the previous drum majors were Casiano Payawal (08') and Benjamin Tan (10').
This year, Abe is going to be making appearances at many of NCBA's L-pattern competitions in the winter season.
In addition to being assistant drum major, Abe is also in Riordan's Wind Ensemble and is pushing for a spot on Riordan's snare line for both Fall and Winter seasons.
