For the third year in a row, I'll be working with a drum and bugle corps on a design basis.  In 2008, I wrote the drill for Revolution (San Antonio, TX).  Last year, I was a consultant for the Mystikal Drum and Bugle Corps from California.  This coming summer, I'm excited to be working with the Genesis Drum and Bugle Corps as their drill writer.  The corps is based out of the Rio Grande Valley, and is directed by Chris Magonigal, who I've worked with in both of my previous drum corps gigs.

As would be expected, Genesis will start small and local, with the hopes of eventually joining the DCI circuit, and doing a full nationwide tour.  I've long hoped that Texas could, itself become a hotbed of drum corps talent, in the way that California has.  There is clearly so much potential in the state, and I'm particularly glad to see a drum corps based out of the Valley, as there is limitless talent and opportunity in that specific area.  I that that with the right direction, this group could go far.

Things are still very new for this corps, but the groundwork is being laid for a very succesful first season, and more importantly - getting set for a succesful future for this corps.  I'm excited to begin working with this team!
