2009 Juno Orefice
Juno Orefice served as the Judge Coordinator for the MCGC from 2002 until 2019. He helped develop the judging side of the association from the ground floor and fostered the growth of judges as well as unit membership. He helped implement hands-on clinics for students, judges training and judges journals. His attitude of “it’s for the students” has been maintained and professed over his many years of service. His philosophy and guidance to our circuit judges and units has helped the MCGC maintain a national exposure. Under his tenure we have judges who have become WGI affiliated and units that have achieved semi-finals, Finals and Class Champions. He continues to work in the pageantry arts as a visual designer and an active judge for bands, guards and Drum Corps International.
