Through the course of my graduate, academic pursuits, I've found the opportunities to intersect scholarship with my love of the marching activity.
In 2014, I did a research project for which the paper was titled "Eliciting Emotional Reaction through Audio and Visual Stimuli in the Marching Arts" - or, for those in the activity: "What is Effect?"
Feel free to read the paper here. Of course, as with any good academia, if you want to use any of the material, please provide citations!

In 2020, as a part of my dissertation requirements, I researched the topic of what we actually ask the performers to do on the field in order to create those moments when the audience is compelled to react. There are a lot of conversations out there about aesthetic, emotion, and abstract intent - but at the end of the day, those moments only happen because of the physical movement on the field combined with the notes and rhythms the performers are playing. I wanted to figure out what we actually compose to craft those moments. This link below is sourced from the University of South Carolina's Scholar Commons.
