Osman (Cisco) Hance has been involved in the marching percussion world since 2000. He performed with the Port St. Lucie High School Marching band for three years and graduated from the Fort Pierce Central High School Marching Band for his senior year. The three years with the Port St. Lucie band trained him well enough to audition and make The Magic of Orlando Drum and Bugle Corps battery after his junior year. After spending 2 summers with the organization, he decided to audition elsewhere. He left Magic and auditioned at Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps. During his rookie year with Crown, Cisco was named percussion section leader and center snare; a position he would maintain for 3 years. He aged out in 2007 with the corps, placing 5th in drums, the highest the corps had ever placed.

Cisco started his teaching career during the 2004- 2005 school year, his first year out of high school. He took on a challenge by teaching at 2 brand new high schools: West Boca Raton Community High School and Jensen Beach High School. In it's first year as a high school, West Boca Raton took its band to states, finishing 4th in its class. He then changed his focus to Jensen Beach High School and, beginning in the 2006- 2007 school year, Sebastian River High School. In Jensen Beach's first year with a field drumline, the school received superior percussion awards and a best in class award. In the 2007-2008 school year, Jensen Beach went undefeated in their class. In the 2 years teaching with Sebastian River, they received many best-in-class and best overall percussion awards.

Not limited to scholastic lines, Cisco began teaching independent indoor percussion in 2005 with the Paradox Percussion Theater. He was appointed the snare tech position and taught there for two years. He is currently the snare tech for WGI Independent Open Finalist Stryke Percussion.
