My name is Sean Reed. I play the flute and have done so for the past three years in the band. Last year I was co-section leader of the woodwind section and prior to that I was a marcher. This is now my fourth year and I will be acting as the drum major.

     From the first time I saw the band perform I knew I wanted to be the drum major. I was in my 7th grade year at Andrew Jackson Middle School. The way that the drum major moved and the power and ellegance he carried was stunning and has had a lasting effect on me and obtaining this position has been my goal ever since.

     To me being a drum major is many things. You must be a teacher, a leader, a showman, a conductor, but above all else a good listener, friend, and follower. It is my goal to be all of these things and more for the band and all of its members. Music is my life and has always been and always will be my passion. So with all of these things in mind I go into my final year of band with my head held high knowing it will the greatest year of my life thus far.
