Ben Findley – Pressman extraordinaire!!

Ben comes to the blast with a fairly sordid past, not one that we feel we need to hide, but sordid nevertheless.

Ben started his interest with the Blasters reporting from the outside on the rebirth of the corps in Ottawa.  This endeavor started to become a bit of an obsession for him, causing him to be fired from his actual job of CIA snitch.  Ben has an uncanny knack for being in the right place at the right time.  That ability was evidently very useful to the Feds in several cases, most notably the conviction of a ring of thieves pilfering red dye #5 from a major pharmaceutical company for resale to inner city youth.  Ben’s work was well rewarded monetarily, but never gave him the thrill that his time tailing Tremendous Blast would provide.

So, if you can’t beat him, let him join.  We approached Ben with the Press Liaison position after realizing he wasn’t going to go away, and maybe if we got him in, he would creep us all out just a bit less.  So we cleaned him up, got him a shave and a pair of unstained pants and let the test begin.  Well the experiment has worked well, and he’s been making great strides via email toward making the Blast the favorite drum and bugle corps in all of Ottawa.  The only obstacle left in Ben’s assimilation into the Blast is to curb his need to sniff the cymbals, once that is taken care of, we’ll be ready to let him out in public.

Keep up the great work Ben, we’re all pulling for you.
