leadership

On the first day of freshman year, I found myself in a new school, and a new state. New everything, really, since I had been educated at home up to that day. My school which once consisted of my mom, brothers, and me around the dining room table grew to 2400 students in an instant.

In that year full of firsts, I learned so much about myself. I joined our 6A marching band, became a section leader as a sophomore, and as a junior was selected to be Drum Major after a rigorous nomination and audition process.

I grew from a nervous freshman, not knowing a soul and having never set foot in a traditional classroom, to leading the largest organization on campus within two years.

I continue to add value to organizations through various leadership and founding positions. As an authentic and compassionate leader, I am dedicated to serving and empowering those around me.

DRUM MAJOR & section leader

JJ Pearce Mighty Mustang Band

I am a two-year Drum Major for an award-winning 6A Marching Band with 200+ members. This includes an annual rigorous, 30-hour audition process, 8 days of extensive leadership training, and leading over 250 hours of rehearsal outside the regular school day.

I set benchmarks, establish organizational culture, facilitate team building, and lead rehearsals. I direct the band at games and in competitions, where we were awarded Area Finalists.

Because of my advocacy to a national music organization, our band was awarded $6,000 in new equipment to improve the program.
