Meet the Team
Vicky Wielosinski
Assistant Director of Sales
The latest addition to Music Travel’s Designer Team grew up dancing, studying every genre from ballet to ballroom. Indiana native Vicky Wielosinski fell in love with Color Guard in high school and performed in college years with several competitive units, including the Bluecoats and the Glassmen drum and bugle corps, the Zydeco Color Guard and the Pride of Cincinnati. Having taught color guard at several schools, she has choreographed for Rhythm in Blue, a Bluecoats Alumni Project.
Vicky’s other loves – travel, adventure and the great outdoors – have led her to guiding on a zip line, driving a campus bus at Indiana University, and intrepidly tour directing for Music Travel for the past seven years. Drum Corps experience taught her how to travel with performing groups and her strong communications skills, solid judgment, knowledge, leadership, and attention to detail made her stand out as a tour director and kept her on the road for weeks at a time, every year.
In her spare time, she serves as Administrative Director for Indianapolis-based Legacy Performing Arts Color Guard, a 2016 WGI A Class Finalist, and a 2017 and 2018 Open Class Finalist. Vicky is extremely excited about ED/MTC’s new partnership!
