They exemplify the spirit, dignity and bearing of the entire band. They are the leaders on the field, conduct the band, assist in organizing and running rehearsals, assist in teaching drill as well as monitor and mentor underclassmen. 2019-2020 Drum Majors Hannah Marsh Bailey Barrows SECTION LEADERS They assist staff with drill, assist students with marching technique and improving their musical abilities, call and run extra sectionals when needed as well as monitor and mentor underclassmen.

Tryouts will consist of an essay, a playing portion, and an interview with the band director and students chosen by the director (typically graduating senior drum majors). Drum Major Candidates will also be required Conduct as part of the interview. Section leaders and Drum Majors are expected to exemplify leadership, provide positive coaching and mentoring to their section. As such, student’s behavior, attitude and work ethic is constantly being evaluated throughout the year and will become part of the interview assessment. VOLUNTEER INFORMATION Parent volunteers are what really make the band run smoothly. The more people helping, the better off the band will be. We are requiring that at least one parent of each student sign up for a committee to volunteer for something over the course of the school year. Your help is greatly appreciated and will lead to the success of this band program and its students!
