joelJoel’s drum corps experience started in 1980, when he played baritone with the Beverly Crusaders (back when boys weren’t allowed to do guard!).  In 1981 he marched with North Star.

Joel joined Arbella as a baritone for the 1982 season, the first year that Arbella went co-ed, then in 1983 moved over to the guard. There was no looking back after that!  After Arbella folded, Joel went on to march with Les Eclipse for the 84 and 85 seasons.

Joel has since been a color guard designer and instructor.  His experience as either a performer or designer/instructor is truly awesome!  Here are just some of the groups Joel has performed or worked with:

Joel’s passion to share color guard with his students is boundless.  He has often times sponsored students so that they could march in other organizations around the country.
