Student Leadership - Band Council

Apply for 2024-25 Student Leadership Council HERE

The Reds Band is one of the most visible student organizations on campus. It is recognized not only for its high standards of performance, but also for the quality experience afforded to its members. The Student Leadership Team (Band Council) plays a critical role in upholding the tradition, quality, and experience of the bands. These students demonstrate the highest musical, ethical, and social standards in their role as leaders. 

Thank you for showing an interest in being a part of the Reds Band Student Leadership Team. We hope you will find the application process to be interesting and enriching regardless of the outcome. This application represents a significant departure from the standard way of selecting student leaders. In addition, some leadership positions* have been added or deleted to better fit the current organization. If you have any questions about the process or your application, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Sorensen at any time. Good luck, and work hard to best represent yourself through this process. 

Your candidacy will be judged on the following criteria:

1.     Past performance 

2.     Quality of your application 

3.     Future leadership potential 

4.     Best fit for the individual and organization 

When completing the application, be honest, creative, thorough, and complete. Don’t say what you think the director might want to hear. Say what you really think. Leaders are people who can offer something new and different to the organization. This application process is structured so that you will gain insights into yourself as a person, so please be honest and thorough. You need to open up and show the person that you truly are, or what you aspire to be. Whether you are chosen to participate in the office you apply for is not the ultimate point. Dig deep inside, answer the questions, and complete the service project with the intent of learning something new. 

*Positions on the Student Leadership Team change from year to year depending on the needs of the band. If you are selected to serve on the SL Team, you may be offered a position for which you did not apply.
