Band Leadership Team

 

In the past week, auditions for drum majors (student field conductors) and section leaders have been held. This year's list of applicants went through a significant selection process and were required to submit a six-page application including: grade point average status, evaluations from all of their teachers, along with responses to a series of questions related to leadership. The band staff is proud of everyone who took the time to participate, knowing that each applicant was willing to dedicate themselves to serve others. With that in mind, I present the following selectees who are being asked to serve as part of the 2012-2013 Band Leadership Team. Congratulations to the following members:
