Most recently he has served as the brass caption head of the Blue Devils while also arranging music for and teaching members of the Blue Devils B and Blue Devils C.<\/p><p>\u201cJohn is a 24-hours and seven-days-a-week teacher and arranger,\u201d DCI Hall of Fame member David Gibbs said. \u201cHe has a 100 percent conviction to his craft. His energy is unending. His communication is motivating, positive, nurturing and direct. His ability to guide his staff and come up with a consolidated highly effective teaching plan is remarkable. His technique programs are some of the best in the world.\u201d<\/p><p>An avid composer and arranger, Meehan annually works with a number of marching bands, and he has also worked with other drum corps including the Troopers, Pacific Crest, and Japan\u2019s Yamato Drum and Bugle Corps. He has also been involved in designing the brass instruments for System Blue, the musical tools exclusively used by Blue Devils and many other marching music organizations.<\/p><p>\u201cJohn is a

level in his field,\u201d said Dr. Cameron Crotts who serves as a professor of the practice of jazz studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology School of Music. \u201cYou will find no better
