Raised in the savannas of Africa, Aaron’s parents were missionaries in Kenya for the first ten years of his life. There they raised ostriches on an ostrich farm. Afterward, Aaron moved to Colorado where he attended middle school and high school. At Arvada High School, Aaron was the vice president of GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) and it was there he was first introduced to color guard which is now his one true passion.
Aaron marched at Arvada all four years he was in high school and later went on to march Signature with Scot – the co-founder of Anesidora, and later, Opus X. He now works part-time as an Abercrombie and Fitch model in addition to teaching color guard at Monarch and Highlands Ranch high schools.
Scot McGiveron
Scot has been involved with marching bands and winter guards for more than 20 years. He majored in music education in college performing with several ensembles. During this time, Scot taught percussion and color guard at several high schools in Florida and Kentucky before moving to Colorado.
Scot has taught and assisted with several Colorado high school marching bands and winter guards since 2002. In 2004, he marched with the independent world class Signature Color Guard where he met Aaron. In 2011-2012, Aaron and Scot co-founded Anesidora. Since 2019, Scot has served as the creative director for Anesidora’s second guard (now Anesidora A). Scot looks forward to Anesidora’s continued growth as a reputable organization to represent the state of Colorado on the national stage!
