Field of View inducts Todd Marcocci as inaugural member of Hall of Fame.
In recognition of our 20th anniversary season, Field of View is proud to announce the formation of our Hall of Fame, to recognize those who have made significant contributions to the guard throughout its history.
We are excited to announce that we honored our very first inductee on March 4, 2017. It is our privilege to announce that Todd Marcocci, founder of Field of View, will be the first member of the Hall of Fame.
In the summer of 1988 Todd pulled together a small group of close friends with varied experiences in the world of marching band, drum corps and indoor guard, in an effort to form a color guard based out of West Chester University. Under challenging circumstances, little funds and a small, dedicated core of staff and members, Field of View was born. One year after the guard’s first season they broke into Open Class Finals, now known as World Class, in Dayton Ohio. The popular Danse Macabre program, also known as “the Dead Year” brought great interest to the guard and its membership began to grow each year after.
Field of View gained tremendous respect and admiration throughout the nineties under Todd’s creative and enthusiastic leadership. The guard became known for it’s excellence in technique, strong equipment skills and creative, entertaining programs. By the time the group celebrated its tenth anniversary it had established itself as a perennial World class finalist.
In 2009 Field of View returned to competition through the combined efforts of Todd Marcocci and current director David Stillman. Upon returning, the guard quickly regained its status as a beloved, entertaining group that audiences fill the stands for each time they take the floor.
Hundreds of members and staff have come through the ranks of Field of View. Under Todd’s tutelage many have gone on to become successful instructors, designers and directors in the color guard activity. Thanks to Todd’s vision and tenacity the color guard activity gained a joyful and well loved organization that so many have come to call home.
