  • I shot this video at DMA 4 years ago. He was magical with the mace. Behind the back catches, catches after somersaults, he could truly do it all.

  • Thanks for the great words guys. Keep them coming

  • I used the trick at 1:29 during my successful drum major audition at the University of Minnesota. Guess who I learned it from... Thank you George.

  • What year was this DMA? it looks really familiar, but i dont think it was the one i was at haha. George was a great person :]

  • With Pride <3

  • I remember many years later in a High School Band comp watching the best state bad march by with a proud Drum Major at the front, mace in hand. I yelled out, "Looking great, just like George Parks!" In shock, she came right out of character and looked right at me. With a big smile at each other, we both knew what that meant. George, you were one of the greats in Marching Band and Drum Corp!

  • August of 1976, Westchester PA. Drum Major camp under George Parks. Eyes wide in wonder... He taught me how to throw the mace and that I did in High School for the last two years. Three best drum major awards because of his encouragement. He was the groundbreaker for Drum Majors and made the mace a cool manly thing. His energy just was contagious.

  • What a boss!!!

  • Nice i really wish i have met him, now that im drum major... RIP G.N.P.

  • I went to the Indiana Music Educator's Association meeting in couple of weeks ago and our keynote speaker invoked the name of George Parks. The room got silent and I teared up, as did the girl next to me. We, two complete strangers, hugged each other knowing nothing more about each other other than that George Parks had impacted our lives.
