Jason started his marching band career with the Pioneer Scouts from Rednal, Birmingham in 1980, where he remained until 1988. During his time with the Pioneers, he took an active roll with the Colour Guard and has been involved ever since.

In 1988 he joined the Beechmen from West Bromwich where he played bass drum for a year and then snare drum during 1989. In 1990 he marched half a season with the Sunrisers, leaving to instruct with Diamond Vanguard from Tewkesbury. From 1990 to 1992, he was visual instructor until the corps sadly had to fold (through no fault of his own).

2002 marked Jason’s 10^th anniversary with SK, two seasons of which were spent as Drum Major. For the bulk of his time to date - except for a couple of seasons - he has been Visual Instructor playing a large part in Drill and general conceptual design.

To summarise his interest with the UK Colour Guard scene, he was a performer in the 1989 ‘Beechmen’ British champion Colour Guard. He also performed from 1990 to 1993 in the ‘Trilogy’ Colour Guard, placing 3^rd, four years in succession. He was with the ‘Liberty’ Colour Guard during 1994 and SK’s Guard during 1995 placing 4^th overall, and winning high equipment.

Wanting to give something back to the activity that he got so much out of, he has been an active Winterguard judge from 1996 to present.

 In 1995, Jason married, and now has 2 lovely daughters, Ellen and Kate.

His favourite UK corps have been Beechmen, Dagenham Crusaders, Imperial Knights, Conquest Alliance and the latter period of the Blue Eagles.
