2025 M100 LEADERSHIP TEAM
Thank you to all students who participated in this year’s leadership training process, and congratulations to the students who were selected as leaders for the upcoming 2025 season! Even if you were not selected as a section leader or drum major, we will be relying on EVERY returning member of the Marching 100 to carry themselves as leaders in order to ensure the success of our organization. You do not have to have a title in order to make an impact!
The 2025 Leadership Team can be found by clicking HERE.
We will have a 2025 Leadership Team meeting this Wednesday, April 23 after school from 4:45pm-5:15pm to discuss the upcoming season and what to expect in the months leading up to next marching season. Please reach out ASAP if you will be unable to attend.
