Ralph Pace: Bringing Theatrical Elements To Drum Corps

| |

We are excited to talk with Ralph Pace, one of the most influential visual designers and instructors in drum corps history. Ralph influenced many future designers and worked with many corps including Blue Rock, 27th Lancers, Cavaliers, Crossmen, Phantom Regiment, Spirit of Atlanta, Madison Scouts, and Reading Buccaneers. Ralph was instrumental in bringing theatrical elements of Broadway show design into the drum corps activity, helping to introduce asymmetry to drill and non-traditional, non-military body movement.
