cavies79 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I thought it would be neat to see who your choices would be for the top 3 designers of visual, brass, and percussion in the 1980s. I'll start and see if you agree or not. I listed in no significant order. Brass Designers: 1. Wayne Downey 2. Jim Prime Jr. 3. Jim Wren Visual Designers: 1. George Zingali 2. Steve Brubaker 3. John Brazale Percussion Designers: 1. Tom Float 2. Jim Campbell 3. Ralph Hardiman Edited March 8, 2019 by cavies79 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in 1989 The Cavaliers were under the leadership of: Lenny Wilkins, Dick Helm, and Brian Winters. Therefore they will be listed as your choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many will throw Dennis Delucia some love. I always wondered, from a visual standpoint, how much credit we should also give Marc Sylvester for his work with George Zingali? They were a team for many years...and I believe it was Marc who worked out the routing on the field for many of Zingali's designs? Also, I used to absolutely love the percussion scoring of Mark Thurston (is that correct?) from the Crossmen in the 80s/90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was intending to mean Steve Brubaker, Tim Salzman, Ken Snoeck, and Jim Campbell. Corps Director at the time was Adolph DeGrawe. Also, I believe Jeff Fiedler was involved as Program Coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up who was coaching the other better known Cavaliers in 1989. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
