2026-27 Student Leadership

The OSUMB operates with a student-leadership model that encourages student development and growth. This structure of leadership is a fundamental tenant of our organization. It keeps us growing and evolving, and is the reason that we continue to thrive. There are eight student offices that comprise the Band Council, and between one and four section leaders per section:

The Band Council

Stella Frame-Ferguson, Micah Ouchida, Rece Graham, Drum Majors

The Drum Majors serve as the heads of the section leadership team, and assist the director in running rehearsals. They conduct all field shows and game day performances, and lead the band on parade. They direct at basketball games and community gigs, and are the most public-facing member of the leadership team. The Drum Majors help ensure the musical and marching excellence of the band.
