Leadership Team

  • Are you a soon-to-be freshman in the Marching Thunder?
  • Full of questions and not sure where to turn for answers?
  • What is it like to be a member of The Marching Thunder?
  • How can I get involved?

Relax…we have answers. Even veteran members need to ask a question or two before camps or rehearsals begin. This year’s Marching Thunder Leadership Team information is provided below for all current and prospective members. We welcome your questions, concerns, and ideas for participation and/or involvement. For quick information, you can also visit our FAQ page.

General questions may be directed to the Director of Athletic Band, Dr. Christopher Schletter. However, if you have specific questions regarding your section, your best bet will usually be to contact your section leaders.
