Those who were fortunate enough to benefit under the tutelage of Marc
Sylvester remember his love of performing and the challenges he gave the
performers in fast moving, innovative drill. Those who have been
fortunate to see Marc Sylvester's shows remember the amazing speed and
complexity of design he created on a football field. Beginning his
teaching career with the 27th Lancers, Marc started by helping George
Zingali put the dots on the paper. Over the years Marc began to develop
techniques and mechanics of making the "wild" ideas of Zingali
a reality. Together they moved to the Cadets and continued their
collaboration on outstanding drill. Designing and collaborating with
Zingali, Marc learned the value of pushing the design concept to the
edge and having faith in the performers to accomplish his vision. Marc
continues to influence visual design as a consultant of many drum corps,
color guards, and high schools. And his passion for the activity has not
diminished. You may still find him writing drill, cleaning forms,
painting props, or designing flags. He understands the value of
entertainment, and clearly understands how important it is to ensure the
performers are recognized for their efforts. |
