All new staff members, except Bailey, are alumni of the world-renowned cast. “We’re proud at Rhythm X to continue to draw from an incredible pool of alumni for our staff,” said Mike Scott, Operations Director of the ensemble, “Aaron [Bailey] will surely be an incredible asset to the group and we’re equally excited having him join the team.” Poulos had this to say about the hire, “I'm very excited to have the opportunity to teach the RXP this season. For me to have a chance to give back to an organization that has given so much to me, feels incredible."

Rhythm X is the current Winter Guard International World Class Champion after winning the WGI World Championships in late April. These additions bring their production, design, and administrative staff to twenty-one members.
