Section Leaders
What are Section Leaders?
A section leader is chosen by the director and staff members after a series of interviews and evaluations. The section leader's
primary responsibility is to keep up the morale and attitude of their individual section while also being an inspiration and role
model to the rest of the band. In addition, the section leaders will also carry out these duties:
* Help their sections in the memorization of music and drill
* Call members of their section if they are absent (not to interrogate them!)
* Make sure their section members are learning their music and passing off their music by the dates designated by the director
* Call extra sectionals
* Run sectionals (unless called by a staff member)
* Lead marching fundamentals
* Inspect instruments of their respective section weekly
* Check equipment and uniforms of section before each performance, also to make sure that everything is loaded onto the truck or bus

"Outstanding teams are comprised of teammates who understand the Law of the Big Picture: the goal is more important than the role.
Coming together is a beginning, and staying together is progress, but only when teams sweat together do they find success."
