Marching Band & Winter Drumline Front Ensemble Section Leader
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York
Bio: Hi! I’m Maria, and I’m a senior studying Computer Science. I’ve been with the BU Bands since my freshmen year, playing clarinet in Pep Band. I started playing mallets in my sophomore spring in Winter Drumline, and it is possibly one of the best decisions I’ve made. This is going to be my second marching season on mallets, and I can’t wait to get started with an amazing year ahead!
What is your favorite part of being a band member? My favorite thing about being in band is getting to make make new friends and learn something new about music and my instrument almost every rehearsal. The supportive community around me is what’s allowed to grow as a musician and a person, and I can’t wait to give back to it the same way it did for me. Somehow silly and fun times reap great rewards in the BU Bands! Someone should study that.
