"These last two years with the Marching Miners have been a great experience. My first year was amazing because I got to learn under a new director as well as getting to meet and work with different people I had never met. My second year was even better because I was able to do my part for the band as a section leader. Now that I'm a drum major, I get to do my part not only for just one section, but I plan to work with my fellow drum majors to do everything we can to maintain the success if the UTEP Marching Miners."
