DO THE RIGHT THING ENOUGH TIMES, AND PEOPLE BEGIN TO NOTICE. He moves comfortably in a crowd. It’s the sign of a lifelong diplomat.

And on a summer’s day he makes his way through the audience like the “Mayor of Pageantry”, with a handshake here, a kind word there, a salute of recognition across the field. He’s on his way to hand out trophies, but he’s ready to share some time on the front sideline, where he seems most at ease.

“I’ve been in this activity for so many years it seems like all my life.” He confides, “And what a life it has been!

Early on, I wanted to audition for Drum Major in High

School. But back then, in 1947, you were expected to twirl baton! So at the age of 15, I started taking lessons with Bob Dawson, the University of Dayton’s drum major.

In a little over a year, it all seemed to come naturally, and I loved the chal-

lenge. Whenever I’d go to a competition to see or learn a new trick, I realized that I could perform it almost immediately.

When young twirlers started to call for help,

I began to teach twirling even though I was still in high school. I’ll never forget my very first student, Mary Jo Holl, who would go on to win Grand Nationals in 1963.”

18 FJM l Marching – Cesario Uniforms engineered the patented VISA System 3 to provide superior, permanent comfort, soil release and moisture management unrivaled in the industry.

Fred J. Miller, Inc. turned to America’s most prominent fabric mill, Milliken and Company, and its most famous product, Visa fabrics, to secure the latest in fabric technology for its trademark Cesario Collection.

Outcomes from the latest rounds of testing provided FJM with the superior fabric it demanded, and proved that the Visa System 3 outperforms the claims of every other fabric being used in uniforms today. Ounce for ounce, this rugged, durable, and comfortable fabric outscores any competitor for moisture management and stain release. And yet, it is woven in a classic 11.5 ounce gabardine, perfectly suited for the tailored fit and crisp good looks demanded by the top Bands and Drum & Bugle Corps who rely on the Image Makers at FJM. As highly-rated innovators of American performance fabric, venerable Milliken Mills of Spartanburg, SC.

Here are the reasons FJM chose to go with the leader.

Comfort - The VISA System 3 fabrics’ smooth feel is the result of patented technology, engineered for high performance characteristics. In addition, the softness is permanent and consistent, even after multiple washings. In recent testing, 4 out of 5 uniform industry experts preferred VISA System 3 to nano -treated garments when it came to softness. And wash after wash VISA System 3 garments by FJM retain their resilience and colorfastness, while maintaining it’s breathability in all climate conditions.

Stain Release - The VISA System 3 is able to handle tough oil stains that are normally very difficult to get out.

This is due to a patented process directly applied to the fabric, which also prevents spreading and redisposition.

Tests showed that remarkable VISA System 3 is up to 4 times better than nano-treated fabrics in regards to stain release.

Moisture Management – The Visa System 3 comes with a superior drying rate. In moisture transport, VISA System 3 has shown to be 7 times faster than nano-treated fabric, while drying at a rate 33% faster.

Wicking Capabilities – The Visa System 3 fabric transports moisture and sweat away from the performers skin. Keeping them dry and comfortable.

The custom, washable uniforms of the Cesario Collection have gained recognition for athletic comfort, distinctive good looks and enduring performance. And FJM’s ongoing relationship with Milliken Mills guarantees the most sophisticated Visa fabrics available.

An Icon Renewed How do you update the masculine, signature uniform of the “Drum Corps of the Decade”, The Cavaliers? Very carefully. It helps to have the creator of the original look work his magic once again. So when the Corps asked Michael J. Cesario to refresh the most recent version of the design he originally penned in 1983, he put everything on the line.

The Result?

Take a look. Every line, every arc, every shape is completely new. It’s slimmer, broader, taller, and more tailored. And yet, it generates the same high power energy, handsome good looks, and “Cavalier Green” that distinguished the original. Once again, FJM has crafted a contemporary classic for today’s performers with the latest fabrics and technology.

Very fresh.

Legend says Napoleon padded his army’s shoulders with batting to make them more intimidating, and then sewed buttons on the cuffs to prevent them from blowing their noses there.

Even military bands, invented for morale on the battlefield, wore outfits with features similar to the military uniforms of their time: box-shaped, heavy wool, weighty interfacings, horsehair canvas, and flimsy linings which twisted and torqued. Pinched collars contained sharp edges and large metal hooks. Buttons either were sewn-on or pierced the fabric with rusting rings and washers. Suspendered trousers had lumpy zippers at the waist.

Heavily-ornamented Civil War and Circus Band Uniforms were hot, heavy, badly ventilated, and uncomfortable, fitting the clothes hanger and musician alike, with an emphasis on maintaining a rigid and unforgiving shape. Amazingly, after WWII, these old-fashioned suits remained largely stagnant; inflexible patterns copied with no consideration for wearer comfort or easy care, even as the style and number of America’s Bands and Drum and Bugle Corps expanded.

Unfortunately, most attempts at a new type of suit ended as stripped-down versions or ill-fitting blouses with elastic waists. Shapeless “unstructured wash-and-wear” became dead-on-arrival fad; an unwanted stepchild of an industry disinclined toward change or experimentation.

But here’s the next chapter. The revolutionary “Cesario™” uniform, exclusively from FJM, became the industry innovator by defying all categorization. Striking good looks and expert craftsmanship combined to make a durable uniform that moves as modern bands do.

And you can put that in your washer and dryer.

Starting in 1983, a completely new uniform began to take shape. Revolutionary in materials, design, and construction, it took nothing for granted, and literally started from a “blank page”. Tested by The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps and the Phantom Regiment those first years, the new uniforms took incredible punishment. With sweltering sixty-day bus-and-truck tours across the US, they were “ridden hard and put away wet”, literally. Word leaked out that a Broadway Costume Designer from “inside” the pageantry had actually invented a whole new way to build uniforms that would be strong, washable, and still look great on TV. Finally, FJM, Inc., announced this innovation publicly, and put it into national production, becoming “The Company That Changed Everythingsm” Today, the standard-setting “Cesario™ “ uniform is worn by more Bands of America and Drum Corps International semi-finalists and finalists than all the other companies combined. It has become the preference of forward-looking University Bands as well, making FJM the fastest growing band uniform manufacturer in America. The trademark fit and finish is built directly into the tailored uniform itself, utilizing a proprietary combination of textile architecture and patternmaking, combined with the latest Visa System 3 fabrics.

“Cesario™” designs are uniquely distinctive, able to convey the traditions and aspirations of each group, resisting any labels, and actually creating a visual brand for the contemporary band.

True West.

No event is bigger than the Calgary Stampede, Canada’s “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”. And a major key to its success is the world renowned Calgary Showband. With over 200 performances at home in Alberta, it handsomely earns its title “Musical Ambassadors to the World” by touring the US, Europe and Japan. No matter where the band appears, FJM’s rugged good looks are part of its trademark excitement. In fact, all the Bands of Calgary, Round-Up, Stetson, and Stampede, wear tough,

durable, and handsome uniforms from FJM.

Center Grove HS Greenwood, IN

See www.CalgaryStampede.com for more information on this great event!

Maybe it’s the luster of their sound, full of depth and richness. Maybe it’s the beauty of their movement, like molten bronze. Maybe it’s the sweep and scope of their imagination, tender one moment, heroic the next. Whatever makes greatness, Carolina Crown seems to embrace it all.

Who else could have captured the growth of this unique ensemble and its desire to warm the audience? Who had the design maturity, experience and vision to predict a uniform that changes with each current production? Only Michael J. Cesario.

Together with FJM, he has crafted a uniform like no other, for a corps like no other.

When I recently came back to FJM, for work, it was no surprise to me that M&M were now giving their all to guarantee unsurpassed service for every FJM customer. Whether it’s the latest merchandise, the finest Cesario Uniform, the coolest Chandler stretchwear, or the best shoe at the best price, they personally stand behind every product we offer. When M&M say that something’s the greatest, it really is!

M&M believe that great customer service should be a given. “Helping a client make decisions is part of our job”, says Mike, “and it’s not always about agreeing with them.” “We don’t just sell,” Mark jumps in, “We try to use our experience to guide them to the decision that best fits their needs and vision.

We offer solutions that make a real-world difference.”

Mike looks at me and says “Hey, I was going to say that.”

We all laugh, and I think to myself “I’m home.”

I

t’s not easy to characterize Marlene Miller, but “petite dynamo” seems to fit perfectly, at least

that’s what her design cohort, Michael J. Cesario insists. Without a doubt, any argument between them is bound to have sparks of energy flying.

So I asked them what makes the FJM/Cesario uniform so successful and competitive.

MJC – “Nice try, Marlene, but it’s our design leadership. Sure, they’re rugged and dependable, but they handle hard knocks with handsome proportions, advanced style, vivid colors, and classic good looks. Discussion over.”

W

ell, that went well. When they agree, as they do on cost, comfort, perfor-

mance, and yes, service, their tone can become

MM – “It’s not an argument, it’s a discussion…”

almost warm.

MM – “I’ll take that as a compliment. After introducing the bib-pant, the gusseted arm, the adjusta-cuff and adjusta-hem, the comfort collar, and the whole modern tailored washable uniform, we keep innovating to stay ahead and to anticipate the needs of our clients. I think we understand contemporary Bands and Drum Corps from the inside out.”

S

ee? No debate, was there? In fact, their differences can sound similar. No, really.

Here’s what they say make their uniforms

MJC – “Next she’s going to say it’s her wonderful service. You know, at BOA Regionals, this lady is there all day with her binoculars, taking notes about uniform fit for each of “her” bands?”

MM – “We really enjoy a terrific team at FJM, so really one area flows into the other and the folks know each other. It makes for great customer support.”

MM – “That’s true, but that’s not what I was going to say. Yes, when it comes to FJM customer satisfaction, we’re in it for the long haul. But our biggest advantage is our durable construction. You know that.”

MJC – “ Well you’re the leader and motivator-inchief…It’s a great family business…your office in the new building is only steps from any major focus area, whether it’s your new computerized cutter, the sewing room, or inspection. Eagle eyes, right?”

like no others.

MM – “Our unique structure starts with expert patternmaking, which is why our uniforms fit like no other. By using unique, lightweight methods for top construction, and avoiding all the elements that make old-fashioned uniforms restrictive, we’ve come up with a terrific gamechanging product that’s gained a huge and loyal following.”

MJC – “It’s capturing the unusual and identifying characteristics of every group that sets our designs apart.

Not all uniforms begin life as a computer files. After all, if it’s in a laptop, it’s already been done. A great design is not just an assemblage of parts; it’s a vision that combines evocative images within the specific need of our clients.

We want impact! We want energy! And we deliver every time.

Our best advice? Free.

MM - “Now you’re talking! Clients first, then Construction and Design.”

MJC - “Right, Clients first, then Design and Construction.”

T

hey both laughed and the debate was left in the air once again. So whether your FJM uniform

captures an iconic classic, or creates a contemporary standard, you know that our design inspiration and construction experience come from years of vision, hands-on involvement in pageantry, and a unique dedication to friends and clients.

BV — “Well, I was born and raised in South Carolina and will always be a Southern boy at heart. I joined the marching band my freshman year of high school; one of my best friends was in the colorguard. I “accidentally” stole her rifle my sophomore year (sorry Sabrina!) and became a backyard-spinning beast. My infatuation with

Pride of Cincinnati.

After moving from South Carolina to Dayton, OH for winterguard I was offered a job teaching the FJM summer clinics, which I did for two summers. This opportunity completely changed my life and is one of the most memorable, rewarding adventures I’ve taken. Through a stroke of luck an inter-office position became available during my 2nd summer and I jumped at the chance to work for this respected company that had taught me so much. I remember the first time I walked into the FJM building and saw rows and rows of brightly colored fabrics, sequin trims, etc. It was basically love at first sight. And yes, I realize that last statement is embarrassing…but here I am today!”

Being a colorguard director is a full-time job as well; however for me it’s an escape…it’s also a time for me to give back some of the valuable information that was bestowed on me by amazing designers and technicians in the past. Plus it helps to have models on a weekend basis to test out my wacky ideas on!

I start to chuckle, Byron turns to look at me, smiles, and says...

SW — “Last question, what do you look for in a successful design?”

“this is very Jackson Pollock of me, huh?”

BV — “This is an easy last question. I look for three things. One: does the customer like what they get? Is it just what they imagined, or better? Do the kids stand a little taller, smile a little bigger, perform a litter harder?

If so, job well done. Two: does the garment make sense with the program? If you look at a costume and

HI, I’m Rosie Miller Queen and I attended my first FJM camp at the age of 12. I am not going to tell you the year, as a girl needs some secrets! A short 5 years after my first camp I was teaching at them.

The next year I decided to follow my dreams and audition for the infamous Miller’s Blackhawk winter guard and I made it! I had watched them for years Rosie has extensive experience teaching drum corps, marching bands and winter guard. Rosie was also the

and always dreamed of being in their sabre line!

visual ensemble and cast manager for “Blast” while it ran in London and on Broadway. Her teaching experience includes: Madison Scouts Drum and Bugle Corps (2010), Carolina Crown (2003-present), The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps (1994-2000), and The Cadets of Bergen County (1993).

Rosie has taught many high school and independent organizations throughout the U.S. including Pride of Cincinnati Winter Guard (1997-present), Aimachi (1996-present), Carroll High School (1990-1995), Center Grove High School (1996-2000), Avon H.S. (2002-2003), and Escapade of Dayton, OH. Currently, Rosie resides in Indianapolis, IN with her husband Jeff and dog London, where she is the Color Guard Director at Carmel High School. Rosie has a Bachelors Degree in Special Education (K-12) from Wright State University and has also earned her certification in Event Management at IUPUI in Indianapolis.

Since then I have had the opportunity to live my dreams and perform with and teach some of the best color guards in the country. My passion has been nurtured and inspired by the FJM family from my early beginnings and I owe much of my success to the lessons they have taught me.”

Here are some of my top tips that I’ve picked up over the years that can hopefully help you and your weapon line.

Tip #1 Problem:

Tip #5 Problem:

Lack of confidence in performance or bad attitudes in rehearsal

Rosie’s Tip: Always try to use the P-N-P sandwich when teaching.

That stands for Positive- Negative- Positive.

Try to sandwich your corrections or criticism in between two positive comments. For instance: “Susie I see that you are working really hard right now, but the angle of your rifle toss still needs to go more flat to the front. When you get that right you are going to look like a star out on the field.”

2. Reinforce technique throughout the season.

Reducing time spent as the season shifts to design, then cleaning. Technique is the skeleton that supports design and excellence.

3. Embrace surface cleaning and micro-cleaning.

When pressed for time, I like to hit the worst first, then the beginnings and endings. Attack main ideas, key counts/phrases and leave the baby finger details to those 10 hour days when micro-cleaning takes over. Ask yourself: “Do I want it right, or right now?”

years at Miamisburg High School and Miller’s Blackhawks (1988 through 1994). He then moved on to Northmont High School and produced some of their most memorable productions (1995- Somewhere, 1996-Wall and Remembrance and 1997-Dante’s Inferno).

Many will remember Joe’s work with Nolan Independent of Texas which produced back to back A and Open Class Champions (Anne Frank-1998 & Rite of Spring-1999). 1999 also marked Joe’s return to Miamisburg High School with the beautiful “On an Ordinary Sunday” program.

Joe then moved to the Pacific Northwest to become Program Coordinator and designer for the Northern Lights Youth Programs. His influence there made an immediate impact as both the Open and the World ensembles

I’ve found that ideas for shows can really develop from anywhere and anything.

It’s important to keep your mind open to all elements (music, theatre, movies, television, art museums, etc...) that can stimulate a new concept. It’s important that when something inspires you, that you then follow up on that motivation to the fullest extent. Each time you pursue an idea, or even a vague thought, that can end up taking you to a place that you would have never thought of going before.

I compare it to opening doors. Each new door you go through and investigate, will lead you to more doors to open, and so on, and so on... Through this process, you will end up covering many contrasting ideas, subject matter and music.
