Dante Centouri was many things in college: a physics major, a comedian who played the nose flute, and the drum major for the Yale Precision Marching Band. Since then, he has been a science educator, helping children around the country learn about science through his sensitive and funny teaching. Dante is now the Executive Director of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum.

Of his time at Yale, the YPMG writes:

Dante, the last DM to serve a two-year term, left quite a legacy behind him. His trademark blue wig and paisley pants led the band screaming into Washington, DC, through the infamous West Point affair (just read any reputable publication’s news from fall 1985) and a pants-dropping incident that even made the New York Times. His band movie, “Chariots of Squid”, remains the gold standard by which all others are judged.

Listen in as you hear about Dante's life and hear the fate of the blue wig.
