We know that UTSA is debuting a football team this weekend. Well, you can’t have football without halftime entertainment, and you can’t have a marching band without drum majors.
Alana Urbano, Annie Moras and Sydney Corbin know they have a big responsibility. They’re UTSA’s first-ever drum majors, leading the Roadrunner marching band in its first season.
“Can you imagine watching football without hearing a band? Watching football and (having) music go hand in hand. They are paired. You can’t have one without the other,” Urbano said.
The band was expecting to recruit about 150 members, but instead had more than 200 students show up.
“I’m excited and proud and I feel very privileged,” Corbin said. “Not anyone else is going to get to do this.”
We don’t march in the MOB, but we do have drum majors and drum minors, and in my observation every last one of them has worked his or her rear end off to make each halftime be the best it can be. I’m sure Ms. Moras, Urbano, and Corbin will do the same at UTSA. Congratulations and best of luck to you, y’all.
