Bio
Alice has participated in competitive music activities since 1987. She received the bulk of her experience with the Southern California Velvet Knights Drum and Bugle Corps in the late ‘80s early ‘90s although she also had valuable experiences with The Musketeers and Anozira-both from Arizona. While she began her journey in the percussion section, she ultimately transitioned into winter guard and color guard was fortunate enough to teach a number of color guards in Arizona, as well as the Colts.
As the founding president of the Winter Guard Assocation of Arizona, she saw a need for judges while the circuit was in its infant stages. She, along with other founding board members, brought in multiple experts to train judges, and her own judging knowledge and experience grew along with the circuit. 2016 will be Alice’s first year of judging for WGI.
Alice is currently residing in Arizona, where she is completing her PhD in English Education. Upon completion of her degree, she hopes continue educating pre-service teachers in a university position.
