The Mandarins are pleased to announce our 2012 show "Prophecy" - an original program composed and designed by Key Poulan (Design Coordinator and Brass Arranger), Tony Nunez (Music Coordinator and Percussion Arranger), Geoff Longo (Visual and Color Guard Caption Manager), and Drew Farmer (Visual Coordinator and Drill Designer.) Program Facilitator Dr. Dan Fong is excited about the Mandarins' production. "We have an extremely talented group of top-notch designers all working to produce an innovative and entertaining program. Watch for some interesting new design concepts, computer generated silk patterns, and an engaging theme with a definite cool factor!"
