1. The Obsessed
This girl has done marching band every single year since middle school. She's probably so obsessed with marching band that one day she wants to have one of her own. You could probably catch her in a leadership position since she's been in marching band for so long. Outside of band, all she talks about is more band.
2. The Know-It-All
This guy is a little bit different than the obsessed girl. While this guy has probably also been in band since middle school, he feels like he knows everything there is to know about band and how it should be run. He loves being in band, but he feels like he knows how to run the band WAY better than the band directors and staff. You most likely won't catch him in any leadership positions, because of his constant attitude.
3. The One-And-Done
This girl only wants to do marching band for one season. Maybe it's because she has opportunities to do other things instead, or maybe it's because she didn't like it very much. She would be great in a leadership position if she decided to come back, but she probably won't decide to come back. She loves music, but the marching band environment just isn't something she wants to/can commit to for four years.
4. The Drum Major Wannabe
This guy only joined band because he wanted a shot at becoming drum major. He was probably drum major for at least one year in high school, and he wants to continue that into college. He dreams of one day being able to stand in front of the band in the stands and blow his whistle to bring the band to attention. He looks like any other guy when you see him in the hallways. If you ever eat lunch with him, he'll probably be practicing his conducting so he "doesn't get rusty."

5. The Section Leader
She has probably been in band since middle school, just like lots of others. She's a great person and amazing leader, even though she might not have wanted the position right away. She's quiet but firm, and NOBODY wants to cross her. You could go to her with any problem, band related or not, and she would be right there to listen and help. She loves band and she loves people. It's a great combination, honestly. Everyone loves her, because she always does what she's supposed to the first time.
6. The Corps Guy
No matter what they say, the guys that do summer drum corps and then come back to college marching band ALWAYS treat band differently during the seasons that follow. He thinks he's better than everyone else, but he's actually no different than the rest of the people in band. Drum Corps is a great experience if you can afford it, but most people can't afford it. His attitude won't stop him from getting a leadership position, because the band directors/staff think the corps guys hung the moon.
7. The Devoted Member
She will always show up when she's supposed to, because she has a respect for the band like no other. She loves marching band, and always will. It's her thing, and she loves every second of being on the field for halftime. When bad things happen, she can write them off, because she loves the organization and thinks that everything is worth it. She looks like any other person on campus, but on the field she wears her heart on her sleeve.
