Former Officers
- Damien Burke - Music
Director - No, really. Not only that but he's taken on some of the
secretarie's duties. And although he did write this, most of the blame
for this website belongs to Ingbert.
- Margaret
Wong - Drum Major - For yet another year Margaret will be leading
us onto the battlefield
- Caitlin
Marlow - Flag Empress - She got to pick her own title. Who
wants to be Color Gaurd Captain when they can be Flag Empress?
- Kailas
Narendran - President - Grand and glorious leader, basically the
most responsible and capable of us all.
- Ryan
Lang - Vice President - No one really knows what the vice-president
does. But Ryan has always done it well.
- Efren
Gutierrez - Presidential/Vice Presidential Intern - We won't go
there.
- Ankur
Mehta - Treasurer - In charge of all our money and financial
matters. We do have money, right Ankur?
- Ingbert
Robert Schmidt - Secretary - Alas, he was elected Secretary, but
has since passed on. Congradulations and best wishes to the bride
and groom.
- Jennie
Hango - Librarian & Historian - Although she may not know what
is going on she's supposed to know what has gone on and where our music
has gone.
- Saggy
Wickramasekara - Vice Librarian & Historian - Another vice.
Just like Miami.
- Jen
Selby - AttAN = Ambassador to the Alien Nations - In charge of all
interactions between the MITMB and the rest of the world.
- Shawn
Mamros - Crusty Type Guy - A well-earned position, he's really more
of a figurehead than anything else.
- Joel
Sokol - Official Marching Band Sage - Another figurehead, but this
one gets respect and gives advice.
- Efren
Gutierrez - Mellophone Section Leader - Aka the Mellophone section.
- Isaac
Rosmarin - Marching Band Wench - Never a more fitting title was
given
- Tet
Matsuguchi - Marching Band Mascot - Not a beaver.
Former Officers
Emeritus Etc.
- Jason
Krug - Music Director - Our reluctant organizer, he selects the
music, leads rehearsals, and works the hardest for the band. As well as
plays more than half of the instruments we use in the band. Heck. He
could be a band, if he could physically hold all the instruments he
plays.
- Margaret
Wong - Drum Major - Our fearless Drum Major who not only comes as
close as is humanly possible to keeping us together (and it is no mean
feat, lemme tell you), she also has the distinction of being our
Defender of the Sound we pass off as Music, and has a nasty kick that
strikes fear into the hearts of loud-mouthed ass-holes the campus
throughout.
- Kailas
Narendran [http://web.mit.edu/kailas/www/]
- President - Our Grand and Glorious Leader--this man is amasing--he
transformed the band from being the ostracized, displaced,
disorganized, undevoted, dischordant group I (I.R.S.) was proud to lead
into a proud band of way over my 5-10 loyal members, and got them drill
charts, an OFFICE!!!, their own designated and lined portion of the
Athletic Fields, tons of good quality percussion equipment--both loaner
and purchased, a successful drum line, and even got them to sound
reminicient of a real band!!!!!!!!!! Kudos, we shall not forget thy
accomplishments soon.
- Ryan
Lang - Vice President - Our most faithful clarinetist, who sticks
to his instrument despite all Percussionoid temptation, he also gets
the unenviable job of actually trying to get people to show up to
practise.
- Margaret
Wong - Treasurer - Continuing a year-long tradition, she is Miss
Money as well as the Drum Major of Fear. She also acts as Director of
Transportation.
- Ingbert
Robert Schmidthttp://www.mit.edu/people/irschmid/homesweethome.html]
- Secretary - Yup, that means I wrote much of this. Complaints should
be sent to me, and me alone.
- Jennie
Hango [http://www.mit.edu/~jhango/]
- Minister of Public Relations, Propaganda, Printed Materials, and Perl
(a.k.a. Librarian and PR: two, two, two posts in one!) - Our fearless
librarian has also proved her worth in combat, and as leader of our
advance strike squad, as well as moonlighting as a hit-person, she is
the unseen danger in our ranks. Also, last year, somehow we suckered
her into putting our vast music library in order! And thanks to her
efforts we still can find everything!!!
- Keith
Bonawitz - Drum Line Captain - Recruitment Officer in Chief - This
eager beaver has led us on his quads to sounding good and together, and
has the duty of leading us to greator glories and numbers in the year
to come!
- Shawn
Mamros - Crusty Type Guy - aka Conductor Emeritus thrice removed,
Dinosaur, etc.. The list continues as long
as this guy has been around. Three cheers,
and one to grow on!
- Joel
Sokol http://web.mit.edu/jsokol/www/] - Official Marching
Band Sage - He has helped us immensely but covering slack, teaching us
how to march, teaching us drills, and basically acting like a two
current officers in one, albeit he nolonger serves us in any official
post. He is also one of our polymorphic musicians that plays whatever
we need him to play(Usually trumpet
though)! Joel is also ex-music director, among other things. While now
a PROFESSOR (congradulations!) at Georgia Tech, he still emails us
advice and drill charts.
- Noelle
Drugan - Our Only Dependable Non-Officer Member, Three Years
Running - Last year Noelle was our faithful woodwind section. She kicks
ass on the piccolo, but can also kick your ass with a baton or piano.
The only frosh in Fall 1997 that got away
w/out a position. This year she has continued her staunch support of
the band (putting some officers to shame), leading us to ever higher
glories.
- Robbie
Buckingham - Mellophone Section Leader - Our dependable and
glorious crusader for all that is lower brass, he is also our most
devout rooter for the opposing team. Hey, we don't want them to feel
left out of the fun, do we?
- Jade
Wang - Mascott - Former Secretary - The person who had the pencil,
but dropped it. She had the tough job of keeping track of 3x5 cards.
But we can't remember what she looks like. Did she ever exist, or
perhaps was she just a figure of our imaginations...?
Old Glories:
- Chris
Bruce - Former President - Was one of the monster musicians in our
lowbrass section.
- Marsha
Novak [http://web.mit.edu/fawn/www/home.html]
- Flag Goddess of Yore - Marching band alum from class of '96.
- Tet
Matsuguchi - former AttAN (Ambassador to the Alien Nations) - A
clarinetist who moonlighted as a percussionist, he abandoned us in our
moment of need, and refuses to rejoin until our secretary stops
swearing.
- Eric
Nelson - Treasurer Emeritus - Don't be bashful; we willingly accept
donations from rich alumni.
- Joe
Nichols - Former Properties Manager - He's the one who got to play
the bass drum with the cool MIT guy on it.
- Shawn
Mamros - Former Crusty Type Guy -He is not only our current Crusty
Type Guy, but also our Former Crusty Type Guy, he's been here so long.
- Erin
Lang - Former Flag Mistress - That's MIT-speak for "Color Guard
Captain". She also holds the office of Tyrannical Usurper of Power.
- Dennis
Evangelista [http://web.mit.edu/devangel/www/home.html]
- Former Mascot - Not only was he the mascot two years running, he was
a past president too!
- Ken
Clary - Former Ambassador to Alien Nations - No, we haven't watched
one too many episodes of the X-Files. His title just means that he was
in charge of our dealings with other MIT organizations. For example, he
set up our performance at LSC's showing of the movie "Independance Day".
