The Argyle Band under the direction of Kathy Johnson decided on the 2014-15 Drum Majors for their State show next year. Juniors Ben Roney, Meghan Starteri, and Madison Gotthardt tried out along with thirteen other members of the band on May 14.

The tryout consisted of questions about being Drum Major and the conducting of the first movement of next year’s show.

The three students will lead the band next year, defending the Argyle Band’s past three State Championships. They will be attending Drum Major camp this summer in order to prepare for the intense year to come.

“I was extremely excited for the opportunity I have been given,” said Gotthardt. “I can’t wait to hopefully lead the band to greatness yet again.”

The directors look at many different aspects of each candidate when choosing drum majors including dependability, good character, strong musical and personal standards, integrity, attendance, as well as the conducting during the audition.

“I want our drum majors to be good representatives of the band,” said Johnson when asked what her hopes are for next year. “I want them to be people that our students can look up to and trust as well as people who can motivate.”

The Drum Majors will conduct the 2014-15 show titled “Alleluia”.
