Michael Cano, President
Michael Cano is a native of Las Cruces, New Mexico. He received his bachelor’s degree in Music Education from New Mexico State University in 1993. In the summer of 1990, his passion and talent for music lead him to audition for The United States Army Band "Pershing’s Own," in Washington, D.C. He won the audition and was accepted as a trumpeter in The U.S. Army Ceremonial Band and The U.S. Army Herald Trumpets.
Mr. Cano started to unofficially document the Herald Trumpet performances for his own family archives in 1998. His “home” videos became a wonderful source of information and enjoyment for the rest of the members of the organization. Understanding the importance of preserving and archiving these performances and memories, Mr. Cano created his own video production company.
Over the past 12 years, Mr. Cano has expanded his video coverage to include many different types of events and services in the D.C. area and around the country. His love for preserving memories will continue to be an important part of his life. The quality of his company’s video productions has far surpassed his customers’ expectations and his productions have become family treasures.
Mr. Cano resides in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife, two children, and two dogs.
