Brian Mar
For nearly 40 years, Brian Mar (affectionately known as “Omar”) dedicated his life to the Mandarins. He began as a soprano player from 1972 through 1977 and became drum major in 1979 and 1980. Then for 30 years (through 2011) Omar was part of the visual staff and lead drill designer through 2010. His creative work helped lead the Mandarins to its 8 DCI world championships in Divisions II and III as well as usher in the first decade as a World Class corps. Omar was also part of the visual and design staff of the Mandarins Winter Guard program in the 1990’s, and he helped establish the Mandarins “prep” guard, the Tangerines.
