Del was a member of his high school marching band and then continued his marching arts career as a performer with groups such as Black Gold (00), The Cavaliers (01-02), Pride of Cincinnati (02) and Northern Lights (04). After retiring as a performer, he went on to teach and direct numerous marching band and color guard programs throughout Indiana and Kentucky. With a wealth of knowledge of the performing arts, Del then joined the Board of Directors for TriState Marching Arts (TMA) as their Education Director where he has served in that role since 2015. As TMA is host to Pride of Cincinnati during the competitive season, a reconnection was made with them which lead to an opportunity to sit on the Board of Directors.
