Ronald P. Socciarelli, 1973-1990

The Ohio University Marching 110, under the direction of Professor Socciarelli, as well as the wind ensemble, toured extensively throughout the east and Midwest.  The wind ensemble was selected to perform several times at the Ohio Music Educators Association conferences and at the national meeting of the College Band Director's National Association Convention and at the National Music Teacher's Association Conference in Washington, DC. 

Professor Socciarelli earned degrees from Ithaca College and the University of Michigan, and he is an active guest conductor and clinician.  Presently, he holds the title of Professor Emeritus of Music, teaching the fall quarter of each year in the areas of conducting and literature.  He now resides in Aiken, South Carolina.

In 1997, members of the Ohio University Marching 110 were honored to hear Professor Socciarelli at their annual band banquet.  Then, in 2003, Socciarelli returned once again to conduct the Marching 110 and over 200 Alumni during the annual homecoming game during the celebration of Ohio University's Bicentennial, as well as speak at the annual Alumni Banquet.
