The Grenadiers would also like to welcome Gareth Skipp back as visual Design!!

With a background and education in theatre, dance and voice, Gareth has been designing and instructing marching programs for over 22 years. He has taught in Canada, Germany, Korea and the USA. His drill designs have won drum corps like Canadian Knights Drum Corps (1986 DCI Division II champions), Kingston Grenadiers Drum Corps (DCA finalist 1998-99), and the Kiwanis Kavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps (Division I – 14th place 1996-97) many awards and titles.

Gareth was the designer and drill caption head for the Rochester Patriots who placed second at the 2003 DCI Division II world championships in Orlando sweeping the visual captions. Also drill designer for the Starriders Drum Corps, Gareth was instrumental in helping them win the 2002, 2003 and 2004 DCG and German Open championships. He worked with the Capital Regiment (Columbus, OH) in 2004 and more recently on the drill staff of the Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps.

Successful writer/instructor of indoor percussion group Spirit Performing Youth Ensemble (SPYE) based in Toronto, Canada, Gareth was one of the reasons the group was a WGI Independent World class finalist from 1996 to 2001.

Gareth is currently the drill writer for a number of marching bands across the USA. He is also a judge for marching band circuits in Michigan, New York and Indiana.

Keep watching the Grenadiers site for additional updates to the staff and show selection for 2006!!
