It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Marlene Miller, who peacefully passed away on April 1, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Marlene was the matriarch of the Miller family for over 60 years and, alongside her husband Fred, dedicated her life to the pageantry arts. A Hall of Fame inductee for both Winter Guard International (WGI) and Music for All (BOA), her impact on this activity is immeasurable.

Since the 1970s, Marlene was known for her visionary designs with the Miller Blackhawks and WGI Scholastic World Champion Miamisburg High School, earning a reputation as a trusted designer, advisor, and inspiration to so many. She was also a cornerstone of the success of FJM, helping shape the company and the marching arts community into what it is today.

Her legacy will continue to live on through her family and the countless performers, educators, and organizations she influenced throughout her life.

More information regarding visitation and funeral services will be shared in the coming days.

Happy National Marching Arts Day! 🎺🥁

Today we celebrate the performers who bring music and movement to life on fields and floors across the country. At FJM, our philosophy is simple: every performer who puts on one of our garments should feel immense pride and confidence the moment they step into uniform.

Each piece is carefully crafted by hand in Dayton, Ohio, made specifically for the student wearing it. Because when performers feel confident, they perform at their very best.

Here’s to the marching arts and the individuals who make them extraordinary!
