| Shirl Chumley has been involved in color guard, marching band, and drum corps pageantry arts, either through marching, instructing or adjudicating since she was a freshman in high school. We won’t say how long ago those high school years were, but suffice it to say that she has been involved in the pageantry arts for 30+ years. Shirl has judged winter guard, drum corps, and marching band competitions across the country. She lived in Parker, Colorado, where she taught high school English in the Douglas County School District for 18 years before joining the international school teaching ranks. She spent two years opening and teaching in an international boarding school on Jeju Island, South Korea, and she lived for three years in Wassenaar, The Netherlands, where she taught high school English at The American School of The Hague and judged for Color Guard Nederlands. In the summer of 2016, Shirl returned to Colorado and continues judging the visual and color guard captions in marching, winter, and summer seasons across the country. | |
