Pearl Corporation is excited to announce the addition of legendary marching percussion educator, Thom
Hannum, as Director of Education. As one of the most
respected voices in the world of marching percussion, Thom
brings decades of experience, innovation, and leadership to
this new role. Known for his work with The Crossmen, The
Cadets, Star of Indiana, Blast!, Carolina Crown, and UMass,
Hannum is a DCI and World Drum Corps Hall of Fame inductee
and PAS Hall of Fame Inductee. As Director of Education,
Hannum will spearhead initiatives that foster musical growth, community engagement, and
brand alignment through educational outreach and programming.
Since Pearl’s inception in 1946, music education has been at the forefront of the company,
when founder Katsumi Yanagisawa began producing music stands for the local Japanese
market. Today, Pearl marching and concert products are staples in schools and universities
around the world. As a leading manufacturer of musical instruments, Pearl values the
development of musicians at all levels—from students and educators to professionals—and the
Director of Education is central to this mission.
“To be named Director of Education at Pearl is a major milestone in my professional career –
reflective of a 43-year association with Pearl as an artist and clinician. It is both flattering and
humbling. Let’s get started!”
“With over four decades of partnership, Thom’s transition into the role of Director of Education
marks not only a continuation—but an evolution—of our long-standing relationship. His
legendary knowledge and experience in school music education have shaped the industry, and
his guidance will be instrumental in steering Pearl’s Band & Orchestra initiatives into the
future,” said Glen Caruba, Director of Sales & Marketing at Pearl Corporation.
“Without music education, there’s simply no music industry,” said Adam Jones, Director of
Marketing at Pearl Corporation. “This role is about more than our products – it’s about people,
progress, and providing educators with the tools they need to inspire the next generation of
performers.”
