Band members

Dale “Dreitz” Drevlow Dreitz was a voice major/piano minor in college. He has been on stage since 5 years old, when he had his first vocal solo. He fronted the 11 piece show band, "the Mandarin Club Band", which later evolved into "the Foundation", for 9 years. Dreitz has no REAL claim to fame but did actually have a colonoscopy, a vasectomy and carpel tunnel surgery all on the same day! Dreitz is the only band-mate who does not suffer from dementia, but has been observed downing an occasional glass of Metamucil. An aspiring Radiographer, Dreitz currently enjoys watching other Rada band-mates play with their eyes closed.
