Anthony Parisi has spent over 30 years involved in the marching, music, and pageantry arts, playing both brass and percussion in high school, college, and various corps. He's been part of The Sunrisers, Bluecoats, Boston Crusaders, Tampa Bay Thunder, and the Sun Devils Drum and Bugle Corps, taking on roles in marching, instructing, and administration.

 Most of his time was spent playing baritone with the World Champion Hawthorne Caballeros. Anthony is also a well-respected judge, consultant, and designer in the marching arts community.

In 2008, Anthony moved from Chester, New York, to Orlando, Florida. He now plays euphonium with the Central Florida Sounds of Freedom Band and serves on its board. For work, he plans student trips as a Senior Travel Specialist with Group Travel Network. Anthony lives in Ocoee, Florida, with his wife Erin, their two dogs, Sandy and Ellie, and their 100-pound tortoise, Henry.

Anthony is very excited to officially be part of the Fusion Core family. (having assisted "behind-the scenes" in their first year moving to Florida) He looks forward to being Staff Coordinator and helping cultivate the very talented staff and members the "Core" is putting together for the 2026 season and beyond!

Randy W. Salinas is in his ninth year as Director of Bands and has been recently made the Interim Director of Choral Activities at Duncan U. Fletcher High School in Neptune Beach, Florida. A graduate of Stetson University, Mr. Salinas was a member of Teal Sound Drum and Bugle Corps in 2006 and 2007 and was also a member of the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps in 2008 and 2009. 

After aging out, he worked as a music and visual technician at multiple schools in North Florida, such as Middleburg High School, Oakleaf High School, and Fletcher High School, where he was made the Director of Bands in 2016.

Under his direction, the Fletcher High School “Pride of the Beaches” Marching Senator Band was a two-time state finalist in the FMBC Circuit and placed 3rd Place in Class 2A this year at FFCC State Championships.

The Fletcher Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and the Fletcher Jazz Machine receive top marks at District Assessments and regularly perform at State Assessments. 

The band program also hosts a State Champion (2021) Winterguard Program, a top-three Indoor Percussion Program, and numerous chamber ensembles that earn top marks at the State Assessment level.

Randy looks forward to bringing the " excellence " standard to the Fusion Core visual program.
