27thAvantCadets Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The Excelsior Visual and Performing Arts Association and the Excelsior Drum and Bugle Corps is thrilled to add Mr. Robert Bond, Drum Corp Hall of Fame member and DCA ensemble visual judge to the creative staff for 2007. Mr. Bond(Bob) has a distiguished career in drum corps...well lets face it...he has been there and done that! With a career lasting some 50+ years in the activity, Bob is the perfect qualified individual the Excelsior organization was looking for to head up the visual package for the 2007 season. Mr. Bond has been seen wearing quite a few different uniforms in his days as a marching member. Some notables include: Preston Scout House, Toronto Optimist, Jolly Jesters, Canadian Commanders, and the New York Skyliners. Later as an instructor, Bob was associated with the Markham all-girls drum corps, the Petersborough Kresendos, Lindsay Kavaliers, and the Seneca Optimists. Mr. Bond has held administrative positions as Director with the Greece Shoreliners and the Greece Cadets, and asst. Director and Business Manager with the Empire Statesmen, a position he held for 18 years, along side of his longtime friend, the late, great Vince Bruni. Inducted into the Drum Corps Hall of Fame in 2001, Mr. Bond was sponsored by Micheal Petrone(past president of DCA) and Col. Truman Crawford, USMC. Most recently Bob has been the Drum Major for the Mighty St. Joes Alumni, the 2005 Hawthorne Cabolleros, and the 2006 Empire Statesmen. Re-qualifing as a DCA visual judge in 2006, Bobs enthusiaum and passion for the activity is as strong now as ever. The Entire Excelsior organization is excited to add Mr. Bond to our team. Welcome Bob! Bob joins Joey Pero as the latest staff additions to the Excelsior family. Bob and Joey are both joined by Mr. Greg Morgan who has returned as the Percussion caption head/arranger again for the 2007 season. Excelsior is planning a great year.

This is another great addition to the Excelsior family. How can we not benefit from someone who helped build one of the most successful senior corps in the activity today? Welcome, again, Bob! Looking forward to 2007! b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
