DO THE RIGHT THING ENOUGH TIMES, AND PEOPLE BEGIN TO NOTICE.He moves comfortably in a crowd. It’s the sign of a lifelong diplomat. And on a summer’s day he makes his way through the audience like the “Mayor of Pageantry”, with a handshake here, a kind word there, a salute of recognition across the field. He’s on his way to hand out trophies, but he’s ready to share some time on the front sideline, where he seems most at ease.

“I’ve been in this activity for so many years it seems like all my life.” He confides,

“And what a life it has been! Early on, I wanted to audition for Drum Major in High

School. But back then, in 1947, you were expected to twirl baton! So at the age

of 15, I started taking lessons with Bob Dawson, the University of Dayton’s drum

major. In a little over a year, it all seemed to come naturally, and I loved the chal-

lenge. Whenever I’d go to a competition to see or learn a new trick, I realized that I

could perform it almost immediately. When young twirlers started to call for help,

I began to teach twirling even though I was still in high school. I’ll never forget my

very first student, Mary Jo Holl, who would go on to win Grand Nationals in 1963.”

— The Miller Way continued on the next page

trained musician and teacher, Fred began to develop total

band shows, including brass, woodwinds, percussion, drill,

colorguard, and twirlers, as the best way to reach even more

students. He directed the bands for the Fairborn City Schools from

1957 to 1968, eventually serving as Music Supervisor. But he also used

his theatrical skills to bring a little bit of Broadway to his student casts

by directing ten of the most popular Musicals of that time.

The United States Twirling Association, Inc was founded in 1957 by

Fred and a group of twirling teachers in the Midwest where he served

as the first President, filling many different roles over time.

“In May of 1959, the best thing in my life happened. I married my wonderful wife and best friend, Marlene Sedgeley from Auburn, Maine.” His yellowed wallet photo shows what looks like a cheerleader and a football player, but in reality they were both twirlers on a mission, establishing Camps and Clinics. In fact, “…no other twirling teacher or strutting teacher has ever produced as many Grand National Twirling and Strutting Champions as myself and Marlene”, he says with a hint of pride.

In the early years, the Blackhawks were made up of baton twirlers, flags, rifles, drums

and brass instruments. Miller’s Blackhawks Twirling Corps established a record

that is unequalled in the twirling world by winning the National Championship every

year from 1956 through 1968. The Junior Corps went on to win 18 titles in 21 years.

The Blackhawks would later become one of the first World Class Colorguards in

Winter Guard International, competing for some ten years in the upper echelons.

The Blackhawks decades flew by, Fred admits, mentioning a tragic fire,

Macy’s Parade appearances, trips to Spain, and most importantly, the births of

his three children. In 2008, when USTA celebrated its 50th Anniversary, 25 of his

beloved Blackhawks alumnae gathered to perform “one more time” in Daytona Beach,

to the kind of standing ovation that followed the group through its history.

The four distinct looks of the Cesario Collection

Traditional features all the time-honored elements that recall an era of classic confidence, done

here with a modern eye for detail and fit. Contemporary generates the sleek clarity and trademark

visual power that defines “State-of-the-Art” now. BreakOut showcases a bold step into

the future of performance wear with a focus on innovative concept, materials, and edge.

University displays the opportunity to unite the elements of team colors, sports logos, and school

identity in a mix that today’s members and alumni can enjoy equally.

Michael J. Cesario meets us at his favorite corner café in

New York City, where old neighborhood photos cover the

walls and the coffee is strong. He’s quick with a welcome,

but the voice we know from the Drum Corps DVD’s seems

oddly subdued talking one-on-one. While shaking hands,

he flips over the paper placemat, but he’s busted…his rough

sketches cover it.

“I’ve always drawn,” he says, putting away the pen, “even as a

kid it was my favorite creative outlet. Hand me a box of cray-

ons and I was a happy pup.” By the time the budding young

artist hits the age of nine he’s marched his first parade.

“It’s 1957, and I’m the worst clarinet

player in the entire Memorial Day

Parade, but I’m totally hooked on

huge, bigger-than-life pageantry.”

“The Cavaliers would come to my hometown for

the first drum corps show of the year.” The Cavaliers

visited NYC for the holiday? “Oh, no,” he laughed, “like

all the best New Yorkers, I’m not from here!

I was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and we used to

call that early contest “Frostbite Falls”!”

So the veteran New Yorker is really a “Cheesehead”, and his

twin inspirations, Art and Music, push him to design band

uniforms…it’s that simple? “No, not at all!

There were many years of creative pain and angst,

suffering for my art…in other words, I went into

Theatre. I worked to get a couple of degrees in

Directing and Production Design and enjoyed a

great career doing TV and stage productions…

some magnificent teachers, some crazy producers…

the tales are endless. It’s where I learned about

character analysis, how to reveal inner qualities and

individuality through clothing. I also learned how

to enhance the figure, concealing some physical

traits while augmenting others. But I never lost

my passion for Marching Bands, Drum Corps, and

Colorguards, so I performed and taught throughout

my Grad and Undergrad years…flying from band

camp to summer stock was pretty mind-boggling!”

I’m always pushing our patternmaker to reinvent

his genius. His skills in fabric architecture are

what make our lightweight, flexible garments so

handsomely tailored.

After communicating with a client, I turn to my trusted sketch

pad to work out the visual puzzle, which later becomes the

finished full color illustration. We’ve always offered custom

design at no extra cost.

In fact, the word “passionate” seems to take on new meaning

when Cesario tells the tale.

“From sketchbook to final detail,

I’m a perfectionist and can drive

folks crazy, I know, but my passion

was that I could take all those

“tricks-of-the-trade” that I used as

a professional Costume Designer

and bring them to performance

wear for young musicians.”

“I wanted them truly comfortable, and able to do all the

athletic activities contemporary bands require. So we needed

a full range of movement, a flexible garment that’s more

fitted, more tailored, and more durable than anything else

out there.” “My passion,” there’s that word again, “meant

starting fresh at square one, with no pre-conceived notions of

what a uniform is supposed to be.”

Eventually, Cesario had become Head of Design/

Technology at Purchase College, (today, he’s Professor

Emeritus). Armed with the latest tools and a brilliant

patternmaker, and using The Cavaliers and the Phantom

Regiment as guinea pigs, a team began to gather the

construction knowledge essential to creating something

new, something truly special. The expertise and crafts-

manship of FJM became the crucial factor in changing an

entire industry. The results are on display in these pages.

Inspiration? Passion? Yes, but there’s one other

quality, Cesario insists. “Call it stamina, resilience, or en-

durance,” he insists “but we keep moving and growing…

after all, a perfectionist is never really satisfied.” With that,

he settles the tab and heads for the door, grabbing that

placemat full of future designs. — Scott A. Winters

uniform is tested for

strength, washability,

and longevity.

Tough. Period. Our washable FJM uniforms handle hard knocks

with the rugged dependable style we invented. Our fabrics are

engineered by America’s finest mills; our patterns are draped in

3-D, then computer graded; and our craftsmen “sweat the

details” for maximum structural integrity. Handsome? Of course!

But every uniform you see here is really comfortable, flexible, and

durable, raising the bar for uniform performance. Again.

From concept

to illustration;

from prototype

to final

construction.

At FJM, we’re with you every

step of the way. A Cesario

uniform is true value for your

Fred J. Miller, Inc. turned to America’s most prominent

fabric mill, Milliken and Company, and its most

famous product, Visa fabrics, to secure the latest in

fabric technology for its trademark Cesario Collection.

Outcomes from the latest rounds of testing provided

FJM with the superior fabric it demanded, and proved

that the Visa System 3 outperforms the claims of every

other fabric being used in uniforms today. Ounce for

ounce, this rugged, durable, and comfortable fabric

outscores any competitor for moisture management

and stain release. And yet, it is woven in a classic 11.5

ounce gabardine, perfectly suited for the tailored fit and

crisp good looks demanded by the top Bands and Drum

& Bugle Corps who rely on the Image Makers at FJM.

As highly-rated innovators of American performance

fabric, venerable Milliken Mills of Spartanburg, SC.

engineered the patented VISA System 3 to provide

superior, permanent comfort, soil release and moisture

management unrivaled in the industry.

Here are the reasons FJM chose to go with the leader.

Comfort - The VISA System 3 fabrics’ smooth feel

is the result of patented technology, engineered for

high performance characteristics. In addition, the

softness is permanent and consistent, even after

multiple washings. In recent testing, 4 out of 5 uniform

industry experts preferred VISA System 3 to nano

-treated garments when it came to softness. And wash

after wash VISA System 3 garments by FJM retain

their resilience and colorfastness, while maintaining

it’s breathability in all climate conditions.

Stain Release - The VISA System 3 is able to handle

tough oil stains that are normally very difficult to get out.

This is due to a patented process directly applied to the

fabric, which also prevents spreading and redisposition.

Tests showed that remarkable VISA System 3 is up to 4 times

better than nano-treated fabrics in regards to stain release.

Moisture Management – The Visa System 3 comes

with a superior drying rate. In moisture transport, VISA

System 3 has shown to be 7 times faster than nano-treated

fabric, while drying at a rate 33% faster.

Wicking Capabilities – The Visa System 3 fabric

transports moisture and sweat away from the performers

skin. Keeping them dry and comfortable.

The custom, washable uniforms of the Cesario Collection

have gained recognition for athletic comfort, distinctive

good looks and enduring performance. And FJM’s ongoing

relationship with Milliken Mills guarantees the most

sophisticated Visa fabrics available.

An Icon RenewedHow do you update the masculine, signature

uniform of the “Drum Corps of the Decade”,

The Cavaliers? Very carefully. It helps to

have the creator of the original look work his

magic once again. So when the Corps asked

Michael J. Cesario to refresh the most recent

version of the design he originally penned in

1983, he put everything on the line.

The Result? Take a look. Every line, every arc, every shape

is completely new. It’s slimmer, broader, taller,

and more tailored. And yet, it generates the

same high power energy, handsome good

looks, and “Cavalier Green” that distinguished

the original. Once again, FJM has crafted a

contemporary classic for today’s performers

with the latest fabrics and technology.

Very fresh.

Character, Integrity, and Hot Sauce.You’ve got to capture the very soul of your group and bring it to life!

From concert stage to parade route, from half-time show to the competitive field, “Uniforms Make the Brand”.

The stature and clarity of your uniform design is a declaration of your

group’s character and excellence, creating a look, an image, a brand

unique to you. While most bands tend to reflect the colors and traditions

of the school or organization they represent, a great designer can find

new ways to be innovative in spirit while reverential in tone. We need

to be aware of what the band has worn previously, and what mascot or

title the band may carry. But, teamed with the Designer, you can still project

an image that contains the elements of modern national-caliber

standards, conveys your individual style, and allows the members to look and

feel strong, confident and contemporary. To bring the true character of the

band to life within the uniform, it is essential to imagine a complete design

process, as intricate as musical composition. Instead of examining each

note by itself, we must “read the score” by looking at the big picture first.

The ideal mission of a uniform is to, in fact, make everyone look uniform.

Visibility. The uniform should look handsome, of course, but it must also

relate to the others around it in a manner that melds the individuals into a

striking whole. We’ve got to work together to ensure that we can see

clarity and direction as a unit, making a complete whole. Remember, if

you can’t see it from 50 feet, you can’t see it! Leave the detailed view-

ing for how well it’s constructed…then go ahead and get a microscope!

Identity. The heart of your group needs to be evident from the first

viewing by an audience, and the first wearing by the performer. The

ability to communicate your distinctive personality and spirit needs to

find its way into your uniform. The traditions of your band should be

honored, of course, but elevated and enriched. Be sure to edit the

accumulation of old details that distract the eye and hurt your visual

impact. We’ve got to know who we’re watching, and see your

signature, but with a bit of visual hot sauce thrown in for zest!

Practicality. Today’s bands perform to rigorous standards that require

durable, athletically-engineered performance wear to match the demands

of modern programs. Accurate patterns, versatile fabrics, and new con-

struction methods are the hallmarks of FJM/Cesario uniforms. Comfortable

and flexible, they are specifically designed and intended to launder without

fading or discoloration, avoiding the expense and environmental problems

of chemical dry cleaning.

If it doesn’t say Cesario, it’s not a Cesario. Only the original has the signature on every FJM label.

Our inspiration, experience, and game-changing vision reveal a unique

dedication to our friends and clients, their bands and their brands.

— Michael J. Cesario

Legend says Napoleon padded his army’s shoulders with batting to

make them more intimidating, and then sewed buttons on the cuffs to

prevent them from blowing their noses there.

Even military bands, invented for morale on the battlefield, wore

outfits with features similar to the military uniforms of their time:

box-shaped, heavy wool, weighty interfacings, horsehair canvas,

and flimsy linings which twisted and torqued. Pinched collars

contained sharp edges and large metal hooks. Buttons either

were sewn-on or pierced the fabric with rusting rings and

washers. Suspendered trousers had lumpy zippers at the waist.

Heavily-ornamented Civil War and Circus Band Uniforms were

hot, heavy, badly ventilated, and uncomfortable, fitting the clothes hanger and musician alike,

with an emphasis on maintaining a rigid and unforgiving shape. Amazingly, after WWII, these

old-fashioned suits remained largely stagnant; inflexible patterns copied with no consideration for

wearer comfort or easy care, even as the style and number of America’s Bands and Drum and

Bugle Corps expanded.

Unfortunately, most attempts at a new type of suit ended as stripped-down versions

or ill-fitting blouses with elastic waists. Shapeless “unstructured wash-and-wear”

became dead-on-arrival fad; an unwanted stepchild of an industry disinclined

toward change or experimentation.

But here’s the next chapter. The revolutionary “Cesario™” uniform, exclusively from

FJM, became the industry innovator by defying all categorization. Striking good looks and

expert craftsmanship combined to make a durable uniform that moves as modern bands do.

And you can put that in your washer and dryer.

Starting in 1983, a completely new uniform began to take shape. Revolutionary in materials, design, and

construction, it took nothing for granted, and literally started from a “blank page”. Tested by The Cavaliers

Drum and Bugle Corps and the Phantom Regiment those first years, the new uniforms took incredible

punishment. With sweltering sixty-day bus-and-truck tours across the US, they were “ridden hard and

put away wet”, literally. Word leaked out that a Broadway Costume Designer from “inside” the pageantry

had actually invented a whole new way to build uniforms that would be strong, washable, and still look

great on TV. Finally, FJM, Inc., announced this innovation publicly, and put it into national production,

becoming “The Company That Changed Everythingsm”

Today, the standard-setting “Cesario™ “ uniform is worn by more Bands of America and Drum Corps

International semi-finalists and finalists than all the other companies combined. It has become the

preference of forward-looking University Bands as well, making FJM the fastest growing band uniform

manufacturer in America. The trademark fit and finish is built directly into the tailored uniform itself,

utilizing a proprietary combination of textile architecture and patternmaking, combined with the latest

Visa System 3 fabrics.

“Cesario™” designs are uniquely distinctive, able to convey the traditions and aspirations of

each group, resisting any labels, and actually creating a visual brand for the contemporary band.

— Michael J. Cesario

he Blue Devils had their second consecutive undefeated season in 2010, and set a new Drum Corps International record with 14 World Championship Titles.

Vibrant and entertaining, Blue Devils’ programs capture the imagination of

fans and judges alike. They radiate confidence, calm, and assurance.

Each show is unpredictable and inventive, spotlighting musical and visual

design concepts that lead the activity.

Since his first asymmetrical “Blue Devil Blue” uniform in the ‘90’s,

Michael J. Cesario has worked hand-in-hand with famed designer

Scott Chandler and FJM to redefine the Blue Devil look. Reflecting a

sense of stature and adventure, while echoing the latest styles, fabrics,

and technology, this trademark uniform is always ahead of the curve.

What’s the next step? Stay tuned.

With 14 World Class

Championship titles to their

credit, Blue Devils have always

relied on Michael J. Cesario to

transform their look, creating

trends that challenge the status

quo, while delivering real

Blue Devils style.

True West. No event is bigger than the Calgary Stampede, Canada’s

“Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”. And a major key to its

success is the world renowned Calgary Showband. With over 200

performances at home in Alberta, it handsomely earns its title

“Musical Ambassadors to the World” by touring the US, Europe

and Japan. No matter where the band appears, FJM’s rugged good

looks are part of its trademark excitement. In fact, all the Bands

of Calgary, Round-Up, Stetson, and Stampede, wear tough,

durable, and handsome uniforms from FJM.

See www.CalgaryStampede.com for more information on this great event!

Maybe it’s the luster of their sound, full of depth and richness. Maybe it’s the beauty of their

movement, like molten bronze. Maybe it’s the sweep and scope of their imagination, tender one

moment, heroic the next. Whatever makes greatness, Carolina Crown seems to embrace it all.

Who else could have captured the growth of this unique ensemble and its desire to warm the

audience? Who had the design maturity, experience and vision to predict a uniform that changes

with each current production? Only Michael J. Cesario.

Together with FJM, he has crafted a uniform like no other, for a corps like no other.

At first glance you may still have to ask yourself...

“Is that Mike or Mark?” These twin sons of Fred and

Marlene Miller are both Executive Vice Presidents of

FJM. And they both agree on offering their clients

only the finest product possible… one of the few

things they may ever agree on.

by Scott A. Winters

he fact that the brothers’ expectations are high is nothing new

to me. I was just 18 when I auditioned for Miller’s Blackhawks.

Even then, M&M (not the candy, or that rapper guy, but the

twins) wanted perfection, and we tried to give it to them.

No matter what the motivation, no matter what the challenge,

they worked as hard as we did. Harder. Side by side, leading

by example, M&M helped me become a better performer than I ever

imagined. We won plenty of prizes in those years, but it was their dedication,

work ethic, and great sense of humor that made the biggest impression.

When I recently came back to FJM, for work, it was no surprise to me that

M&M were now giving their all to guarantee unsurpassed service for every

FJM customer. Whether it’s the latest merchandise, the finest Cesario Uniform,

the coolest Chandler stretchwear, or the best shoe at the best price, they

personally stand behind every product we offer. When M&M say that

something’s the greatest, it really is!

M&M believe that great customer service should be a given. “Helping a

client make decisions is part of our job”, says Mike, “and it’s not always about

agreeing with them.” “We don’t just sell,” Mark jumps in, “We try to use our

experience to guide them to the decision that best fits their needs and vision.

We offer solutions that make a real-world difference.”

Mike looks at me and says “Hey, I was going to say that.”

We all laugh, and I think to myself “I’m home.”

t’s not easy to characterize Marlene Miller, but

“petite dynamo” seems to fit perfectly, at least

that’s what her design cohort, Michael J. Cesario

insists. Without a doubt, any argument between

them is bound to have sparks of energy flying.

So I asked them what makes the FJM/Cesario

uniform so successful and competitive.

MM – “It’s not an argument, it’s a discussion…”

MJC – “Next she’s going to say it’s her wonderful service. You know, at BOA Regionals, this lady is there all day with her binoculars, taking notes about uniform fit for each of “her” bands?”

MM – “That’s true, but that’s not what I was going to say. Yes, when it comes to FJM customer satisfaction, we’re in it for the long haul. But our biggest advantage is our durable construction. You know that.”

MJC – “Nice try, Marlene, but it’s our design leadership. Sure, they’re rugged and dependable, but they handle hard knocks with handsome proportions, advanced style, vivid colors, and classic good looks. Discussion over.”

ell, that went well. When they agree,

as they do on cost, comfort, perfor-

mance, and yes, service, their tone can become

almost warm.

MM – “We really enjoy a terrific team at FJM, so really one area flows into the other and the folks know each other. It makes for great customer support.”

MJC – “ Well you’re the leader and motivator-in-chief…It’s a great family business…your office in the new building is only steps from any major focus area, whether it’s your new computerized cutter, the sew-ing room, or inspection. Eagle eyes, right?”

MM – “I’ll take that as a compliment. After introducing the bib-pant, the gusseted arm, the adjusta-cuff and adjusta-hem, the comfort collar, and the whole modern tailored washable uniform, we keep innovating to stay ahead and to anticipate the needs of our clients. I think we understand contemporary Bands and Drum Corps from the inside out.”

ee? No debate, was there? In fact, their

differences can sound similar. No, really.

Here’s what they say make their uniforms

like no others.

MM – “Our unique structure starts with expert pattern-making, which is why our uniforms fit like no other. By using unique, lightweight methods for top construction, and avoiding all the elements that make old-fashioned uniforms restrictive, we’ve come up with a terrific game-changing product that’s gained a huge and loyal following.”

MJC – “It’s capturing the unusual and identifying characteristics of every group that sets our designs apart. Not all uniforms begin life as a computer files. After all, if it’s in a laptop, it’s already been done. A great design is not just an assemblage of parts; it’s a vision that combines evocative images within the specific need of our clients. We want impact! We want energy! And we deliver every time. Our best advice? Free.

MM - “Now you’re talking! Clients first, then Construction and Design.”

MJC - “Right, Clients first, then Design and Construction.”

hey both laughed and the debate was left in the

air once again. So whether your FJM uniform

captures an iconic classic, or creates a contemporary

standard, you know that our design inspiration and

construction experience come from years of vision,

hands-on involvement in pageantry, and a unique

dedication to friends and clients. — Scott A. Winters

She’s multi-tasking again; mother of three, Human Resource Director, Summer Clinic guru, and Dance Team Coach. But today, as employees begin to arrive at FJM Headquarters, Mary Lynn Dorow lets out with a laugh as we look to the parking lot.

It’s “Hat Day” at FJM and these folks have taken

the challenge seriously. “The supervisors may have a

bit of a problem talking to these cartoon characters,

flappers, and lobsters,” she says, “but it’s one of our

keys to successful team building!” Just then, a woman

with mouse ears pulls into the parking lot. “As Human

Resources Director, my goal is to make sure everyone

from the production staff to the front office staff has a

positive attitude. The key to having our clients return

year after the year is to have that great mind-set

present everywhere in our FJM operations.”

This same attitude carries over into her highly trained summer clinic staff. FJM

Clinics have been in existence over 52 years. “Our active philosophy, T.E.A.M.

(Together Everyone Achieves More) is widespread throughout the summer, and

in our total business model.” The clinic program provides exceptional instruction

for every aspect of all auxiliary programs. She adds, “We specialize in flag, rifle,

majorettes and twirlers, dancers, drum majors and student leadership training,

and we also offer private clinics in other locations at our client’s request.”

The place begins to take on Mardi Gras air, sequin top hats, bowlers, and

grandma bonnets filling the vast space. “I’ll get a chance to see them all in

our lunchroom later, but first…” and in mid-sentence she takes a call from her

Dance Team Captain at Alter High School, a recent project. At 68 performers,

it’s a tribute to FJM camps, because four years ago it didn’t exist. Now, it’s one-

tenth of the school. Mary Lynn picks up right where she left off “…I’m off to

school. You know, we became so popular we even have a flash mob!”

We shoot out to her car (a convertible, what else?) and she offers some last

words. “Remember, I’m a Miller, so I’ve got Marlene’s energy and Fred’s pa-

tience. Our success is due to great products and extra service, true, but mostly

it’s because we’re all involved and passionate about what we do. We always

tell folks they can call for help anytime on a million different topics…and always

reach a Miller.” And she’s off, still wearing her Santa hat.— Scott A. Winters

THE Mid-wEsT.

SW — “So tell me about your background; how you got involved with the activity,

as well as with FJM.”

BV — “Well, I was born and raised in South Carolina and will always be a Southern boy at heart. I joined the

marching band my freshman year of high school; one of my best friends was in the colorguard. I “accidentally”

stole her rifle my sophomore year (sorry Sabrina!) and became a backyard-spinning beast. My infatuation with

pageantry continued to grow; luckily my mom was a nurturing German woman that didn’t fully understand

why I wanted to glue glitter on a silk scarf, tie it to an old broom handle and toss it up in the air – but she

also never questioned it. Along the way, my techniques became a little more refined and I had the wonderful

experiences of performing with the Infiniti Winterguard, Carolina Crown Drum Corps, Crown Guard and

Pride of Cincinnati.

After moving from South Carolina to Dayton, OH for winterguard I was offered a job teaching the FJM

summer clinics, which I did for two summers. This opportunity completely changed my life and is one of the

most memorable, rewarding adventures I’ve taken. Through a stroke of luck an inter-office position became

available during my 2nd summer and I jumped at the chance to work for this respected company that had

taught me so much. I remember the first time I walked into the FJM building and saw rows and rows of

brightly colored fabrics, sequin trims, etc. It was basically love at first sight. And yes, I realize that last statement

is embarrassing…but here I am today!”

SW — “So you like color?”

BV — “I LOVE it, actually. Can you imagine a world where everything was grey, black and white? How boring!

I enjoy smart use of color best; you can never go wrong with a palette of harmonious colors. However I also

admire people that are willing to take risks. Some of my favorite looks have come together simply by throwing

caution to the wind and trying something unexpected. That philosophy should be applied more in our niche

activity!”

SW — “In addition to being a designer you also run your own independent colorguard and

continue to teach and judge locally – how do you stay inspired?”

BV — “That’s a good question, believe me there are days when I question my own sanity! But seriously, you

have to be passionate about what you’re doing. To me this is what I was born to do. I take inspiration from the

amazing kids I teach on a daily basis, from things that happen in my life, the good, the bad, the ugly and the

beautiful – I can see ideas in just about anything. Being a colorguard director is a full-time job as well; however

for me it’s an escape…it’s also a time for me to give back some of the valuable information that was bestowed

on me by amazing designers and technicians in the past. Plus it helps to have models on a weekend basis to

test out my wacky ideas on!

SW — “Last question, what do you look for in a successful design?”

BV — “This is an easy last question. I look for three things. One: does the customer like what they get? Is it

just what they imagined, or better? Do the kids stand a little taller, smile a little bigger, perform a litter harder?

If so, job well done. Two: does the garment make sense with the program? If you look at a costume and

think “I totally get why they’re wearing that!” it’s a great sign – both for you and the judging community. Third:

does the package seem complete? From the fit of the garment, to the styling of the hair and makeup, the

props, floor, shoes, drums, etc. What you choose to put on your body is only the starting foundation for a “look.”

When I see a group that has meticulously dotted their i’s and crossed their t’s when it comes to their overall

image – I can’t help but applaud. Loudly.”

As I walk into Byron’s office he is throwing tiny swatches of fabric on a design

board with careless abandon, staring intently at them while twirling his hair.

I start to chuckle, Byron turns to look at me, smiles, and says...

“this is very Jackson Pollock of me, huh?”

That wry sense of humor, dramatic flair and interesting method of blending color and

texture are a few of the reasons that Byron valentine is quickly becoming a “go-to”

designer for both colorguard and drumline uniforms. i sat down with Byron to get a little

background from him, and ask about what he looks for in a successful design...— scott A. winters

He doesn’t walk like a WGI and DCI Hall-of-Fame ego. There’s no sw

agger, no

boast or pride. In

fact, he moves lik

e a working dancer on his way to today’s

rehearsal. Always m

oving. Head down, voice quiet with the Southern accent

he’s never really lost. He’s busy, on a May afternoon in northern California,

coordinating the details of a show that will b

ecome the Blue Devils 14th DCI

title win.

He’s just arrive

d at “Mars”, t

he BD rehearsal site. Near the bright and busy B

lue Devils

HQ, it looks like a cratered, grassless la

ndscape; like Mars. He’s already jumped into

a short conversation with Jay M

urphy, the iconic drill w

riter. There’s some overheard

design-speak about collapsing arcs,

Japan, and “Laura”. Even in conversation, he’s

always moving.

Suddenly, I get his “fu

ll-laser” focus. His w

ords flow spontaneously. “I’m an exercise

in

improvisation…” he says, taking a breath “…

and I carry w

ith me the wonderful

experience of working with some of the greatest people in the business.” He’s been a

student every step of the way, in

sisting, “I c

ontinue to learn from incredible performers,

instructors and all my competitors. F

rom the Bridgemen, to the Spirit of Atlanta, fro

m

James Logan High School to The Blue Devils,

I’ve realized that it all co

mes down to

the performer. Give them the opportunity, f

rom choreography to costuming, and

th

ey will elevate the idea to an unbelievable level of theatricality!”

So why design? Why Costumes? “

Well, Costumes help the performer inhabit the

character, role, and style of the show in a way th

at elevates the communication

experience. I’m a big believer in costumes that provide the perfect o

pportunity for the

performer to express the moment with a bold statement!” H

e talks about Fashion, too,

and how he’s surrounded by emerging styl

es in California. “Keeping the look relevant

and vital in our co

ntemporary color guard, dance, and percussio

As the BD Colorguard dances past us, he gets another inspiration. “Motion. Stretch wear

is all about the motion. And the variety at FJM gives everyone a chance to translate their

ideas from the field or the gym floor to the highest se

Here are some of my top tips that I’ve picked up over the years that can hopefully help you and your weapon line.

Problem: Catching those tosses

Rosie’s Tip: Dropping is a color guard persons worst nightmare.

The key to success is having good and consistent

TECHNIQUE! You must practice proper tossing

technique and get everyone in your weapon line to

toss the exact same way. Take 10 to 60 minutes

out of EACH rehearsal to practice your tossing

technique. There are many options on which tech-

nique to use, the most important thing is that each

person in your group is using the SAME technique.

Problem: Bad Pitch on tosses (not keeping tosses

flat to the front)

Rosie’s Tip: Bad pitch can lead to so many other problems,

especially if you are trying to toss those high tosses.

Make sure to have someone stand on the side of

you to keep your tosses flat to the front. You can

also practice up against a wall to ensure you can

keep your tosses flat to the front. Stand about 8

inches away from the wall, facing it and throw a

toss... work until you can throw it perfectly flat.

Problem: Sabre catches looking weak

Rosie’s Tip: The sabre is weighted completely different than a

rifle, make sure you treat it differently when spinning

it. When your sabre comes down from a toss and

it is time for the catch, make sure to separate your

hands as much as possible. Putting a piece of

electrical tape about 1/3 away from the sabre tip can

help you strive for a nice catch hand position. This can

be referred to as “catching on the tape” and will

insure a much stronger look for your group on those

sabre catches.

Problem: Performance levels are not strong enough

Rosie’s Tip: INSPIRE the members of your color guard! Bring

out the video camera and record them during run

thrus and watch it as a group afterward. Give honest

constructive criticism and offer suggestions on how

to elevate the level of performance. Often times the

members feel like they are performing more than they

actually are when you watch it back.

Problem: Lack of confidence in performance or

bad attitudes in rehearsal

Rosie’s Tip: Always try to use the P-N-P sandwich when teaching.

That stands for Positive- Negative- Positive.

Try to sandwich your corrections or criticism in

between two positive comments. For instance:

“Susie I see that you are working really hard right now,

but the angle of your rifle toss still needs to go more

flat to the front. When you get that right you are

going to look like a star out on the field.”

Hi, i’m rosie Miller queen and i

attended my first fJM camp at the

age of 12. i am not going to tell

you the year, as a girl needs some

secrets! A short 5 years after my

first camp i was teaching at them.

The next year i decided to follow

my dreams and audition for the infamous Miller’s Blackhawk

winter guard and i made it! i had watched them for years

and always dreamed of being in their sabre line!

since then I have had the opportunity to live my dreams

and perform with and teach some of the best color guards

in the country. My passion has been nurtured and inspired

by the FJM family from my early beginnings and I owe

much of my success to the lessons they have taught me.”

rosie has extensive experience teaching drum corps, marching bands and winter guard. rosie was also the

visual ensemble and cast manager for “Blast” while it ran in london and on Broadway. Her teaching experience

includes: Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps (2010), Carolina Crown (2003-present), The Cavaliers Drum

and Bugle Corps (1994-2000), and The Cadets of Bergen County (1993).

rosie has taught many high school and independent organizations throughout the U.s. including Pride of

Cincinnati Winter Guard (1997-present), Aimachi (1996-present), Carroll High School (1990-1995), Center

Grove High School (1996-2000), Avon H.S. (2002-2003), and Escapade of dayton, OH. Currently, rosie resides

in indianapolis, in with her husband Jeff and dog london, where she is the Color guard director at Carmel

High School. rosie has a Bachelors degree in special Education (k-12) from wright state University and has also

techniqu

she’s taught in Japan, Europe, and, of course, California. she’s spent

almost four years of her life on a staff bus. Born into a drum Corps

family, she started marching at age five.

She’s TJ Doucette, and in the world of Colorguard, she’s the “Perfectionist’s Perfectionist”.

Her award-winning wgi and dCi groups include James logan Hs,

fantasia, and the Blue devils, crediting “amazing” designers Jay

Murphy, scott Chandler, and karl lowe with forcing her “A” game.

But it’s her own performers that speak volumes about her

generous dedication, personal concern, and her unique ability

to bring precision, musicality, and emotion into their lives.We asked her to reveal a few

expert “tips” … and she couldn’t

wait to share them with you.

TIPS from TJ:

1. Technique exercises should:

1) define/measure time, space, energy utilized in the common motions

2) develop flexibility, control, strength and agility

3) be ‘modular’ so they can be easily lengthened/shortened for time

2. Reinforce technique throughout the season. Reducing time spent as the season shifts to design, then cleaning. Technique is the skeleton that supports design and excellence.

3. Embrace surface cleaning and micro-cleaning. When pressed for time, I like to hit the worst first, then the beginnings and endings. Attack main ideas, key counts/phrases and leave the baby finger details to those 10 hour days when micro-cleaning takes over. Ask yourself: “Do I want it right, or right now?”

4. Don’t clean the life out of the show. Sometimes “perfect” is perfectly boring. Try to balance the science with the art.

5. Be really smart about time. Everyone will want more. But don’t cheat the performers out of ensemble time, segments, and run-throughs. Repetition is time- consuming but necessary preparation.

6. I don’t like to use music nor do canned warm-up/tech program. Because I like to talk/correct through-out and want the students mentally engaged, not on auto-pilot.

Don’t clean the life

out of the show.

Sometimes “perfect”

is perfectly boring.

Try to balance the

science with the art.

Never let students fear error.

Train the brain; condition the body.

Leave the performer freedom

to make it live believably.

Know what you know and work at

what you don’tDon’t make yourself crazy! Spin on.TJ

With over 20 years of experience within the winter guard activity as a

designer, instructor and adjudicator, Joe Sowders has a long list of

accolades. Currently the Director of Marketing/Sales Manager at FJM,

Joe established himself working with Mike & Mark Miller during their

years at Miamisburg High School and Miller’s Blackhawks (1988 through

1994). He then moved on to Northmont High School and produced

some of their most memorable productions (1995- Somewhere,

1996-Wall and Remembrance and 1997-Dante’s Inferno).

Many will remember Joe’s work with Nolan Independent of Texas which

produced back to back A and Open Class Champions (Anne Frank-1998

& Rite of Spring-1999). 1999 also marked Joe’s return to Miamisburg

High School with the beautiful “On an Ordinary Sunday” program.

Joe then moved to the Pacific Northwest to become Program Coordinator

and designer for the Northern Lights Youth Programs. His influence there

made an immediate impact as both the Open and the World ensembles

jumped up competitively with each placing 5th at WGI Finals in 2000.

For Joe’s first 4 years the NL World Guard was co-ed, and produced

remarkable presentations (Profination-2000, This is Your Life-2001,

Chaos & Order-2002 and War Letters-2003). But in 2004, a decision to

make the guard all-male was a large turning point in Northern Lights,

and WGI history.

Undoubtedly, most people will remember NL for their all-male years. The

2004 production of Road to Perdition caught many by surprise. The show

was designed completely “in the round” so it could be enjoyed from any

angle it was viewed. “I wanted to take advantage of the shape of the

arena in San Diego” Sowders said, “which had no true home side like UD

arena.” The show had a clocklike perfection that was mesmerizing. And

from the cinematic soundtrack, to the FJM/Cesario suit-like costumes, to

the three dimensional look of the circular cloud floor; this show provided

the audience a true theatrical experience.

Northern Lights went on to produce two more all-male productions with

“The Shawshank Redemption” in 2005 and “Meditation: In Memory of

John Lennon” in 2006. Both of these presentations received tremendous

acclaim, and solidified Northern Lights as a program that will always be

remembered… and missed.

Joe currently designs for World Class programs Braddock Independent,

Zydeco Colorguard and Centerville High School. “Throughout my WGI

experiences, I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with and learned

from the best people in the activity” said Joe. “The Miller family is why I

got involved in winter guard, and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to

teach so many wonderful kids for all these years without their help and

guidance. Any success I’ve had is a direct reflection of them.”

Some advice from Joe

I’ve found that ideas for shows can really develop from anywhere and anything. It’s important to keep your mind open to all elements (music, theatre, movies, television, art museums, etc...) that can stimulate a new concept. It’s important that when something inspires you, that you then follow up on that motivation to the fullest extent. Each time you pursue an idea, or even a vague thought, that can end up taking you to a place that you would have never thought of going before. I compare it to opening doors. Each new door you go through and investigate, will lead you to more doors to open, and so on, and so on... Through this process, you will end up covering many contrasting ideas, subject matter and music.

Be sure that you make design selections based on something that you have a very strong vision about. The

idea and the music should be giving you visual images of what you would like to see happening on the floor. At

the same time, you must know your ensemble and their capabilities. You may believe that creating a show based

around fencing, and having all of the performers spin sabre, will bring down the house at wgi. But do your kids

have the experience on sabre to make that show a possibility?

Be careful that you don’t over reach with your concept. remember, you basically have about 5 minutes to get

your idea across. let’s say you want to interpret a shakespearean play such as Macbeth or romeo & Juliet. instead

of trying to convey every single complex detail of the plot, it might be best to simply focus on interpreting main

themes such as ambition and deceit, or the powerful nature of love. it could even be broken down further, such as

the simplicity of a kiss.

Know your history. when i first became involved in the activity, an experienced designer (and current wgi Hall

of fame member) told me, “You don’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been.” You

need to be fully aware of wgi’s past great shows and performances. To be able to see the progression of design

over the last 30 years is invaluable in attempting to know how you wish to help shape the future of the activity.

And with wgi’s extensive commitment to making past shows available, there’s no reason you can’t be well versed

in wgi history even if you weren’t around for it. Also, knowing the past will keep you from creating that perfect

show idea, that was actually created 10 years earlier.

Lastly, always keep your focus on the performers. it can be easy to get caught up in all of the superfluous as-

pects that can become a part of the activity. digital floors, massive props and elaborate costumes are all instruments

that can be used effectively. But the most important resource you have, is your ensemble. if you keep their best

interests in mind throughout the process, your rewards will always be assured.— Scott A. Winters

Step 1Remove bolt and strap before taping. Add strapping tape to mid-section and both ends of rifle. Use 1” strapping tape for less bulk.

Step 2Cover strapping tape with white vinyl tape. This adds additional protection, as well as provides a cleaner look by covering the strap-ping tape.

Step 3Screw bolt and strap back on the rifle, taking care not to over tighten.
