Ralph Pace: Bringing Theatrical Elements to Drum Corps

We have a great conversation 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.  We discuss the variety in drum corps of the day, the importance of individual identity to corps, and how we can bring more of that to today’s drum corps experience.

Some of my description of Ralph’s work came form this article by Joe Marrella
