Vaughan Sawdon, Owner of G2, grew up with entrepreneur parents who owned and operated a chain of bridal salons for over 38 years. This is where he learned about customer service, dedication to quality, and the importance of listening to the customer. At a very young age he learned what hard work meant. As a kid, Vaughan remembers buying trips to the manufacturers and falling asleep under the designer's sketch desk in scraps of satin and silk.

These experiences fused clothing manufacturing and sales into his DNA. After college, he went to work for a traditional uniform company selling marching band and related apparel, it was a natural fit. Over the years, Vaughan was fortunate to be mentored by one of the industry’s most respected and longest standing individuals. Vaughan is forever grateful for the knowledge and experience he imparted that he keeps with him still today.

Through his many years in the industry, Vaughan has witnessed the evolution of marching bands. Programs have become more athletic and physically demanding, requiring performers to play their instruments while truly performing physically. Yet the basic marching band uniform hadn’t been innovated to account for the change.

Vaughan started G2 Performance with the mission to look outside-of-the-box and change the way uniforms were engineered. He reimagined both form and function, and develop a superior garment that is designed for the Marching Athlete™. He found ways to improve the performers experience and enhance their visual character. Just like any athlete, musicians need to have the right tools to perform at their best. Making this product was simply the right thing to do, and long overdue.

The G2 Team is dedicated to continually transforming G2’s products and customer experience. We are committed to listening to our customers and serving as trusted partners for the marching band industry, because we care about our Marching Athletes™.

What we’ve created is just the beginning!
