This season will be my fourth and final year in the Cardinal Pride Marching Band, and I cannot begin to express how honored and excited I am to be the 2017 Drum Major. I have been playing clarinet for 7 years, alto saxophone for 3 years, and have experience marching both. Sophomore year I was featured as an alto soloist in our show, Forever Vegas, and junior year, I served as woodwind captain and band captain. Outside of marching band, I am an active member of Tri-M, FCCLA, winterguard, Girl Scouts, and am Vice President of the National Honor Society at EHS. This is my fifth year living in Colorado; I was born and raised in Minnesota, but love all the hiking, biking, camping, fishing, and mountains this beautiful state has to offer. I cannot wait to see what this season has in store for us - with lots of hard work and practice, it will undoubtedly be something great.

Hi! My name is Roger and I am one of the 2017-2018 brass captains. I was born in Orlando, Florida. I have been playing trumpet since I was in 5th grade, but have explored several other instruments of the brass and string variety. This year, my senior year, will be my fourth year marching as a cardinal. Along with marching band, I participate in jazz band, symphonic band, musical pit, and the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps. Outside of band, I wrestle and participate in judo.

I am the woodwind captain for the 2017-2018 marching season. I have been playing flute since the 6th grade and piccolo since freshman year. I was born in Tokyo, Japan and raised in Texas. I have lived in Colorado for the past 3 years. I made the regional honor band for the Spring Branch Middle School. My first year marching was for the Smithson Valley High School. Instead of band I love to play soccer for the school. I hope to make this third season with the Cardinal Pride Marching Band the best season ever.
