Cooper Blankenship
Pep Band Rhythm Section Leader
Hometown: Palmer, Alaska
Bio: “Hey y’all! My name is Cooper (he/him) — I’m a drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer from Palmer, Alaska. I’m here in Boston studying scoring for film and video games, and have had the honor of playing for the BU Pep Band since fall of ‘24. I’m a fan of a wide variety of genres, including electronic, rock and metal, pop, and fusion. As I head into my senior year, I look forward to forming new connections, meeting new members, and making new memories as we groove out another great season!”
What is your favorite part of being a band member? My favorite times are when we travel for games. We have the opportunity to see new places and get to know our bandmates a little better.
