New Genesis Website

Posted on by Chris Magnoigal

Welcome to the new Genesis Drum & Bugle Corps Website

As part of the transition into a new decade, Genesis has completely revamped their website. The new website was created carefully with the organization’s performers in mind, both prospective and veteran.

“We wanted to make sure that our members could access all the information and tools they need for the entire season’s experience.”

Chris Magonigal, CEO and Founder

The project was overseen by two alumni, John Filippone and Micah Gause. The site worked as both an update for the organization as well as a way to deepen the connection with the alumni organization. Click around the new site and enjoy!

Genesis announces Francesca Ramirez as 2020 Conductor

Ramirez is currently a Music Education major with a concentration in Clarinet Studies at the University of North Texas, and this will be her 4th season on the Genesis leadership team.

“The 2019 season for Genesis was really a turning point back to the family roots in which we were founded on,” Ramirez reflects, “In the 3 years I’ve been here, I think this next season is going to be a pivotal year of growth for Genesis and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish with those core values.”

Along with her studies at UNT, she is a part of the Green Brigade Marching Band and a Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) All-Star. The past 3 years Francesca has been a part of Genesis have been spent as a member of the drum major team. We are enthusiastic to see the ways in which she continues to lead from the center podium ushering in a new decade of success for the home team.
