Texas State Marching Contest. Dr. Snyder then went on to

University of Cincinnati. He has been actively teaching
and working with bands in public school music since
1983. Professor Snyder is a frequent guest adjudicator
and clinician throughout Illinois.
Visual GE: Marie Czapinski
Marie Czapinski was part of Bands of America before it
even existed – she was there when the original
incarnation “Marching Bands of America” was just a dream
of its founder, she was part of the planning stages and
then saw it become a reality. She continues to be
instrumental in the organization today.
Marie is an icon in the marching, color guard and visual
design worlds of pageantry. It was she who 30 years ago
held a BOA-sponsored clinic for 2,000 teachers at Texas
Bandsmasters Convention to introduce the use of color
guard to marching bands, as at the time drill teams were
the only form of pageantry in Texas.
She has been a color guard and visual adjudicator,
clinician and leader for Bands of America/Music for All
throughout its history. She is a co-founder of Winter
Guard International and has been on the board of
directors for the Midwest Color Guard Circuit for over
20 years. She is also an adjudicator for WGI and DCI and
has appeared in the DCI World Championships Broadcast on
ESPN2.
Marie has also impacted the marching arts as a
teacher, having instructed bands including Conant High
School, IL, three-time Grand National Champion Rocky
Mount High School, NC and Union High School, OK. “BOA
has always used all of its resources to reach out to
decision makers to support music education and continues
to be the innovating force,” says Marie.
Visual Ens: Gary Czapinski
It has been close to three decades since Gary "Chops"
Czapinski, in collaboration with Pete Emmons, thrilled
the drum corps activity with their innovative and
creative visual magic with the Santa Clara Vanguard. To
this day, Gary's visionary approach to visual design can
be seen in every niche of the world of pageantry. From
the costume-clad characters of "Alice In Wonderland"
performed by the Madison Scouts and the "parachute" of
the Seneca Optimist to the introduction of asymmetric
drill design, Gary has been instrumental in the ongoing
evolution of the visual art of the drum and bugle corps
activity.
Without Gary's nurturing and constant desire to be new,
fresh and different, our activity would be very
different today. Possibly a little less imaginative,
colorful and forward thinking. He is truly one of the
master visual "producer/designers" of our time.
To this day, Gary continues to design within the drum
corps, band and winter guard arenas and lectures on the
subject of design at universities and colleges
nationwide. He continues to volunteer countless hours to
the training of new judges and supports the drum corps
activity which remains the root of his life as an
artist.
Color Guard: Billy Saccomanno
Billy Saccomanno relocated to Kansas City, Missouri in
2010, and is the Chief Judge for the Mid Continent Color
Guard Association. He serves as a Movement Adjudicator
for Winter Guard international, the Atlantic Indoor
Association and Florida Federation of Judges
Association. Additionally, he has been serving as a
guest judge and clinician for local marching band and
winter guard circuits in 18 different states across the
United States.
Billy's passion for the marching arts has been
evidenced by many years of teaching marching band and
winter guard including Black Watch, Apex and Bpex,
Innuendo, and Extraordinaire Winter Guards as well as
several high schools in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and North Carolina areas. His drum corps
teaching resume includes the Phantom Regiment, Crossmen,
Jersey Surf, Teal Sound, Reading Buccaneers, and
Hawthorne Caballeros.
Percussion: Chad Schaedler
Chad Schaedler has been with Gateway Indoor since the
2005 WGI season. During his tenure with Gateway he has
served as the Battery Caption Head, Battery Arranger,
Program Coordinator and most recently the Education
Director and Staff Coordinator. Chad has instructed a
number of percussion ensembles including The Crossmen
(2010 Percussion Co-Caption Head), The Bluecoats
(2006-2009), The Colts (2005), Missouri State University

across the country. Chad is an Innovative Percussion and
Evans drumhead artist. He is the current percussion
coordinator for MCCGA and is a member of the WGI
