Stephen Ingram is the band director of the Linden-McKinley Unstoppable Mighty

Marching Panthers in Columbus, OH. He is a native of the South Side of Chicago and a graduate from Central State University. He also holds a Master of Music Education from Capital University. He has been the band director since 2017 and has grown to being one of the best in the entire city. 

D-Andre Curenton serves as the Percussion Director for The Unstoppable Mighty Marching Panthers, bringing a lifetime of performance, education, and leadership experience to the program. Born and raised on the north side of Columbus, Ohio, Mr. Curenton developed a passion for percussion at a young age and became involved in marching band during middle school—a passion that has remained a driving force throughout his life. 

 Coach Earnika Pitts is the proud Head Dance Coach of the Linden-McKinley Drill Team, a role she has passionately served in since 2012. A proud graduate of Linden-McKinley High School, Coach Earnika has come full circle by leading the very drill team she once performed with as a student. Her love for dance began at an early age as a member of Pinnell Dance Theatre, where she trained until entering high school, laying the foundation for her lifelong commitment to the art of dance. 

 With over two decades of dedicated leadership in youth organizations, Sybil is a premier booster operations executive specializing in community mobilization, athletic program development, and Marching Band arts advancement. Throughout an illustrious career, Sybil has served as the driving operational force behind several elite programs, most notably managing travel, fundraising, and logistics for the Saints Drumline and The Unstoppable Mighty Marching Panthers, alongside more than 20 years of executive service across Youth Football Parent Organizations (Boosters).

Dr. Angelic Dean has proudly served the Linden-McKinley Band Program as a dedicated volunteer since 2012. Throughout the years, she has worn many hats, including Drum Major Coach, Assistant to the Band Director, Alumni Support Coordinator, Special Events Coordinator, mentor, and countless other roles behind the scenes. While her responsibilities have evolved over time, her mission has remained the same: to help the program grow and ensure every student knows they are capable of becoming more than their circumstances or zip code.
