About Marching Music’s Major League™ >>Drum Corps International is the leader in produc- ing events for the world’s most elite and exclusive marching ensembles for student musicians and performers. Professional Thirteen original founding member corps formed Drum Corps International in 1971 to organize and Staff unify leadership. Directors of those competing groups sought to unite corps by providing oppor- tunities to perform together—in the end building a foundation for future success. The non-profit entity was officially established in 1972. Focused on the growth, well- being, promotion, and support of the entire organization, Drum Corps International is dedicated to providing each drum corps with services enabling them to perform and create a Dan Acheson Executive Director positive experience for members and fans.

Colleagues and friends remember RICHARD IANNESSA the late Richard “Ike” Iannessa as an innovator who commanded great respect. Starting with the Hyde Park (now Boston) Crusaders, Iannessa was a skilled percussionist and drum major. After finishing his performing career as conductor of the Cambridge Caballeros in 1960, Iannessa began a long and illustrious career of teach- ing, designing, and adjudicating. “[He] was a master of design and staging and well ahead of his time,” recalls former 27th Lancers performer Terence Keenan. Innovations like the use of tape recorders for judges, new approaches to staging and entering the field, the development of dance and choreography for the color guard, and the use of video as a tool for critique and performance analysis can all be traced to Iannessa’s vision. Friend Francis Morris recalls Ike’s two loves, “Love of drum corps and love of family.” 16 DCI Souvenir Yearbook p16-17_HallofFame-EM.indd 1 6/18/09 3:40:51 PM

EMIL PAVLIK In a time when drum corps was characterized by rigid formations and military music, Emil Pavlik—nicknamed “Big E”—truly marched to the beat of his own drum. Beginning his relationship with drum corps almost 60 years ago as a bugle instructor with the Racine Y.M.C.A. Kilties, Emil challenged the activity’s establishment by expanding the repertoire to include music ranging from original compositions to the jazz of Glen Miller. As a result, the Kilties became a magnet that attracted mem- bers from neighboring cities—and from other corps. “Emil was the sound of the Kilties for over 20 years,” says former director Edward Porcaro. Members of the era recall a warm atmosphere at rehearsal and Pavlik’s commit- FRANK WILLIAMS ment to sportsmanship in competi- tion.

The 2008 World Class Finals went HOLY NAME BLUE DEVILS CADETS down to the wire with one of the closest finishes in DCI his- tory, and this season’s race may well be just as tight. In 2008, the merger of the old Divisions II & III into the larger 30 52 BLUE KNIGHTS JERSEY SURF Open Class brought a new excitement to the field.

Blue Devils’ 1930 recalls the artists and innovators of the era as they projected their optimism upon the public. A con- temporary view of the time gives context to the music that burst upon the scene that year, works as diverse as Gershwin’s buoyant “I Got Rhythm” and Copland’s futuristic “Piano Variations.” To combat the Great Depression, Americans also found comfort in music like the confidant and self-assured “Happy Days are Here Again,” and heeded the instruction to “Get Happy,” songs that provided an artistic diversion from reality while underscoring a nation’s determination to forge ahead and build a robust and progressive future. 0 5 el on Avenue, on or , A 9 520 • 925. 89.2918 • lue evil .org 29 WorldCorps-EM_REV.indd 4 6/18/09 4:41:27 PM
