Joshua Fouche joins us as the codirector of the Flowery Branch Colorguard. He grew up in Commerce, Georgia, where he fell in love with performing and the marching arts. He is now a student at the University of North Georgia in pursuit of a degree in communications, and is also a shift supervisor at Starbucks.

He has had the opportunity to perform with several world-class programs, which inspired him to continue with the activity through teaching.
