About the Author. Mr. Brandon Wilson has been involved in musical performance for over 22 years. Although he was not introduced to the drum and bugle corps activity until shortly before his 18th birthday, he did enjoy four years marching in DCI junior corps - three with the Concord Blue Devils B, and one with Allegiance Elite of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In 1996, Mr. Wilson helped found the organization that has come to be known as the Bay Area Renegades Senior Drum and Bugle Corps, based in California's San Francisco Bay Area. He is still involved with the Renegades as a performer and administrator. Mr. Wilson is not a author or professional writer. He does not have impressive credentials. He does not have a doctorate or a master degree (yet). And no, he has never won a DCI championship at any level. What he DOES have is an undying passion for drum corps, and the courage to say something about it. This topic - senior corps - is one that is very important to him, so important that he has spent countless hours over the past sixteen months working with an amazing bunch of people to bring a senior corps to California.
