Drum Major Results

We had a very competitive group of contestants for the one drum major slot in the upcoming marching band season. Thank you to James Lickiss, Jason Elliott, Jacob Douglas, Mark Devey and Eli Walker for auditioning. The drum major for next year has now been selected and I am pleased to announce that Eli Walker will be taking over the position vacated by Victor Pezzolla. Next year is looking to be very exciting and challenging. I look forward to working with the marching band coming up in only a few months!
