Current high school students with hip-hop dance talent are invited to participate as Co-Leads for the 2025-2026 season of the Phenom Drum Major Squad. This will be Phenom's first year. The purpose of the Co-Leads is to help us define and strengthen our high school program. You will be involved in high visibility events such as parades, college games, dance competitions, and NBA G-League games. Co-Leads are responsible for studying the HBCU style of Drum Majoring and then infusing that style with hip-hop. Phenom would be the first performing/competitive community-based unit in the tri-state area, so this is an incredible opportunity for you to make an indelible mark! In November, a Coach will join you to help refine your stage presence. The Drum Major squad will include at least 2, but no more than 7 participants (boys/girls) who are in grades 8-12. You will also train and mentor our middle-school drum majors. Starting in October, you will lead a virtual practice on an evening you will choose along with the other Co-Leads. Starting on Saturdays in October, you will begin in-person practices for a three-hour window (usually 1pm to 4pm). Our current practice location is Downtown Newark. We will track every hour of your service (which includes virtual/in-person practices, events, community service activities and workshops). At the end of your season in June 2026, we will provide you with a reference letter and an updated resume. No phone calls please.
