Chris Maher is one of the principal historians and archivists in the drum corps community. His significant contributions as a researcher, conservator, writer, photographer and database/web architect over more than 20 years have evolved into the online museum Drum Corps Xperience (DCX, available at dcxmuseum.org), which houses the history of thousands of drum corps, past and present. His collection includes repertoires, contest scores, photos and videos, with audio excerpts coming soon. He is one of the leading photographers in the drum corps community, taking pictures for Corpsreps, DCA and Drum Corps World since 2005. He is currently working with Bill Ives, WDCHOF 2021 President’s Choice award winner, to document more than 230 vintage uniforms in Ives’ collection for display on DCX. He played in the percussion section of the Westchester Horizons in the 1970s, and since 2002 has volunteered in a parent support position with Lehigh Valley Knights, Crossmen, Phantom Regiment and Blue Devils.
