Originally from Hazlet, NJ, Julia Cardillo will serve as the Media Team Supervisor for the Boston Crusaders this summer. In college, Julia marched in the color guard for the University of Massachusetts Amherst Minuteman Marching Band and multiple drum corps. After graduating with a B.A. in Journalism, she immediately set off to combine her two passions, media and marching. Since graduating, Julia still finds herself around the football field, this time with a camera instead of a flag. Drawing from a background in digital marketing and public relations, Julia has served on various media and production teams for DCI, Jersey Surf, the U.S. Army All-American Marching Band, and local musical ensembles.

“Being part of a media team provides a unique perspective into the everyday life of drum corps that is seldom seen from the audience. I’m excited to join the Boston Crusaders team this season to help bring these stories to a national audience.”
