HIS CADET STORY:

Marc came to the Corps in 1982.  Together with Drill Designer George Zingali, the two brought a new level of visual and music integration to the Corps as well as the drum corps world.  It was said during the 1980’s, that “music was motion” for The Cadets.

 

Marc got started with drum corps as a performing Mellophone player with the 27th Lancers (1975-1978).  Here’s a listing of just some of the drum and bugle corps that Marc has worked with over the years in the visual design/instruction category:

 

• 27th Lancers ’79-’81 Visual Design 

• Garfield Cadets ’82-’85, ’87-’06

• Freelancers ’85

• 27th Lancers ’86

• Star of Indiana ’86

• Suncoast Sound ’86-’88

• Crossmen ’08

In addition to this listing, Marc has also worked with several winter color guards in the WGI circuit.
