Marcus Onezime
Born and raised in Terry, Mississippi Marcus attended Hillcrest Christian School and Hinds Community College prior to his move to Georgia in 2014. While continuing to teach color guard full-time, Marcus continues with online classes at Kennesaw State University where he studies to obtain his Bachelor of Science in Integrative Studies with focuses in Dance and Childhood Psychology and Development. As a performer, Marcus has had the pleasure of performing within the Drum Corps International and Winter Guard International communities with both the Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugle Corps (World Class Finalist) and World Class Champion Concord Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps. |
Marcus has also performed with Paramount World Winter Guard and had the honor of performing with the Georgia State University Marching Band in the 2014 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
As an educator, Marcus has provided movement choreography for numerous programs throughout the south. Among the most local are Sprayberry HS, River Ridge HS, Johns Creek HS, Kell HS, Lambert HS and Mill Creek HS. He has also served as Director of Color Guard at Duluth HS in Duluth, GA and most recently, finished an exciting 4 year term as Director of Color Guard at Chattahoochee HS in Johns Creek, GA prior to serving in his most recent positions. Accumulating knowledge and experience with each of these positions, these programs reached new heights with record membership numbers and program success across the Scholastic Novice, Regional A, Scholastic AAA, Scholastic AA and Scholastic A classes within their local SAPA circuit. At the collegiate instructional level, Marcus joined the staff of The University of Georgia Winter Guard for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
Marcus is no stranger to the Mill Creek Marching Band and Color Guard Programs. Beginning as a Guest Movement Choreographer for the 2015 Dance Camp, he has worked closely with the Mill Creek Guard as a Choreographer and technician but most recently joined the full time staff in the 2019 Fall and Winter Seasons as Rehearsal Lead for the Competition/Spirit Guards as well as the Open, A and Cadet Winter Guards. Currently, Marcus resides in Alpharetta, GA where he continues as the Director of Color Guard at North Gwinnett High School and as the elected Color Guard At Large Member for the Southern Association of Performing Arts (SAPA) Circuit. Marcus is excited and extremely honored to begin his 5th year with The Pride of Mill Creek Marching Band Program and the Scholastic Open, A and Cadet Winter Guards in his new role as Caption Head.
