Introducing The 2019 Battalion Drum Majors

The Battalion held auditions for the backbone of the student leadership team – the 2019 drum majors – during the corps’ Utah Audition Event in January. Many talented and qualified candidates applied, and four individuals were selected through a rigorous audition process to select the best fit for the 2019 season. The corps will be led by returning head drum major and fourth-year member Andrew Blomfelt with assistance from third-year member Collin Moore, third-year member Everett Shryock, and first-year member Staylee Koller.

“We’ve been really fortunate to have some outstanding student leaders since the beginning of The Battalion,” said Program Director Mark Hartman. “There’s no question that these four individuals are perfect examples of the servant-leader that we look for when selecting the students who will lead this corps. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to work together with them as we prepare the corps to reach a new level of excellence this season.”
