FRANK MILLER – EFFECT VISUAL Being literally born into a Drum Corps lifestyle with his father as a lead soprano player for the Pittsburgh Rockets Frank was a mascot for the drum corps the day he was born. At a very young age (6) Frank had the privilege of beginning his percussion studies privately under some of the premier orchestral and rudimental specialists known in the percussion world at that time. Early on with instruction from William Hammond, (and Bill's student Mary Sorick) his passion to constantly want to drum lead him to become one of the youngest members of NARD performing in individual snare drum contests throughout the Midwest and East coast while winning numerous individual events before the age of 12 and also placing in the top ranks of DCI's snare drum individuals at the early age of 13. He continued his studies with several other private teachers in the likes of Michael Blazer, Michael Kumer (Duquesne Univ), Jan Fung and his esteemed collogue and friend Rande Sanderbeck (director of percussion at ETSU) while marching his way through several small drum and bugle corps before joining the well-known drumline of the Finleyville Royal Crusaders where he stayed until 1981. In 1982, Frank was hired as the percussion caption head for the Steel City Ambassadors a Sr. Drum and bugle corps from Pittsburgh, PA where he stayed to teach for the next 10 years. Now, during all this time, Frank had always had a very strong interest in art, painting, architecture, and many types of design and had been writing for winter guards and marching bands in the local Pittsburgh area but really wanted to find a way to utilize these artistic qualities into his life outside of the pageantry world. The answer was the Gateway Institute of Design where he studied CAD and was reassured of his true love for design. Frank is also very proud to be one of the founding members of the Pittsburgh Percussion Project where he has been credited for introducing the students of the Pittsburgh region to the indoor percussion activity. PPP successfully performed in the PIW division for WGI as finalists in 2003-2006. Currently, Frank is recognized primarily as a visual designer, clinician, and judge, his involvement in the marching music activity from a student, to teacher, designer and consultant spans over 40 years. He has been an accredited adjudicator with some of the most esteemed judging associations and pageantry organizations around the globe including the AIA, FFJC, MEJA, PFCJ, PIMBA, Drum Corps Europe, Drum Corps International, Winter Guard International, Bands of America and Music for All, just to name a few. In his current work as a visual design specialist, he continues efforts to educate in the importance of individual student training, and design quality within a variety of marching music activities throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. CHRIS HESTIN – EFFECT MUSIC Chris Hestin has been an active WGI Percussion adjudicator, serving recently on the WGI Percussion Steering Committee and currently as the WGI Percussion Judge Coordinator. He also had served as the Percussion Judge Coordinator for the Mid-East Judges Association, Indiana Percussion Association, Rocky Mountain Percussion Association, and Three Rivers Winter Ensemble Association. Chris also annually presents judge training clinics for various circuits in anticipation of the winter season. In the fall he adjudicates for Bands of America/ Music for All, PIMBA of Western Pennsylvania, and several other circuits around the country.

  • Drum Corps International and the Cavaliers
    TOUR HOUSING Drum Corps International and The Cavaliers Drum Corps International (DCI) is a non-profit organization that offers a competitive circuit for independent non-profit youth performing arts organizations from around the world. These ensembles, known as drum and bugle corps, attract members from across the country and around the world and make up what is widely recognized as Marching Music’s Major League ™. The average age of membership in these ensembles is approximately 20 years old. The nature of their performances is similar to a college marching band format but they do not perform at sporting events. Programs are more sophisticated, with much more time and expertise given to perfecting shows that are as athletic as they are artistic. DCI competitions attract tens of thousands of people in live audience settings and live feed cinema viewings every year. The members of corps such as The Cavaliers spend the entire summer touring the United States, Canada and in some cases overseas. Each member pays dues for this experience, which are used to hire staff and cover food and travel expenses. Staff members range from professional educators to Broadway designers and are significant contributors to the educational experience the members receive. Corps raise additional funds through private industry and municipalities to meet the immense cost of travel. Corps members routinely sleep on buses and in school gymnasiums while on the road. On rare occasions, they enjoy the luxury of dorm room accommodations. The drum corps activity is a national treasure that can only exist because of partnerships with sponsoring schools who furnish rehearsal and housing facilities.

  • Gail Schultz International Fellowship Information, Instructions and Application for 2022
    Gail Schultz International Fellowship Information, Instructions and Application for 2022 Over the course of five-decades, Gail Schultz served as a hard-working friend, enthusiastic supporter and graceful ambassador—not only of The Blue Devils, but for the entire drum corps community. Her deep passion for global stewardship and international participation became renowned and respected worldwide, and her generosity and kindness has had a positive impact on countless lives both near and far. Gail’s involvement with The Blue Devils began in 1971, when her daughter Christine joined the Twirlers and her son Steven joined the Jr. Drum & Bell Corps. Before long, Gail was managing multiple Blue Devil programs and serving on the board of directors—including multiple terms as its president. Having chaired the Precision West drum corps competition for a decade, she then helped establish the DCI West competition at Stanford Stadium and chaired that event for another decade. Serving as Marketing and Development Director, Gail coordinated special events and recruitment drives, created public relations materials, and represented The Blue Devils to the Concord Chamber of Commerce as well as civic and fraternal organizations throughout the area. As Promotions Manager, Gail coordinated all aspects of the souvenir sales on tour and in-house and developed our first e-commerce operation. She became an iconic and critical part of the drum corps activity, serving not only as the lead voice for how all drum corps merchandising operations were managed and operated, but also as a mentor and friend to all who worked in the souvenir marketplaces. Because of Gail, the corps’ souvenir trailer was not only a successful financial asset but became the social center for all drum corps fans, regardless of affiliation.
