Mark Jolesch revolutionized the art of group and candid event photography for scholastic marching bands. As founder of Jolesch Photography and its successor Jolesch Enterprises, Mark and his companies have been capturing images and providing life-long commemoratives of Bands of America events since 1982. Through the years, Mark and his organizations have captured more than a million group and candid images of Bands of America participants and events that literally “tell the story” of scholastic band in America. His success at Bands of America events was the springboard that launched and made Mark Jolesch and Jolesch Enterprises the leading national group photographer for high school bands, collegiate ensembles, colorguard, percussion and drum corps.
Mark’s contributions to Bands of America go well beyond the capturing and distribution of cherished photographic commemoratives. The Mark Jolesch Scholarship at Grand Nationals has meaningfully contributed to the education and training of young men and women who are today successful music educators. In addition to these contributions, Mark and his team have been fiscal, operational and strategic contributors to Music for All’s and Bands of America growth and development as an organization.
