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.
For yet another year Margaret will be leading us onto the battlefield.
She got to pick her own title. Who wants to be Color Gaurd Captain when they can be Flag Empress?
Grand and glorious leader, basically the most responsible and capable of us all.
No one really knows what the vice-president does. But Ryan has always done it well.
We won’t go there.
In charge of all our money and financial matters. We do have money, right Ankur?
Alas, he was elected Secretary, but has since passed on. Congratulations and best wishes to the bride and groom.
Although she may not know what is going on she’s supposed to know what has gone on and where our music has gone.
Another vice. Just like Miami.;In charge of all interactions between the MITMB and the rest of the world.
A well-earned position, he’s really more of a figurehead than anything else.
Another figurehead, but this one gets respect and gives advice.
Aka the Mellophone section.
Never a more fitting title was given.
Not a beaver =(.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Continuing a year-long tradition, she is Miss Money as well as the Drum Major of Fear. She also acts as Director of Transportation.
Yup, that means I wrote much of this. Complaints should be sent to me, and me alone.
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!!!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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?;The person who had the pencil, but dropped it. She had the tough job of keeping track of 3×5 cards. But we can’t remember what she looks like. Did she ever exist, or perhaps was she just a figure of our imaginations…?

Ken Clary
Was one of the monster musicians in our lowbrass section.
Marching band alum from class of ’96.
A clarinetist who moonlighted as a percussionist, he abandoned us in our moment of need, and refuses to rejoin until our secretary stops swearing.
Don’t be bashful; we willingly accept donations from rich alumni.
He’s the one who got to play the bass drum with the cool MIT guy on it.
He is not only our current Crusty Type Guy, but also our Former Crusty Type Guy, he’s been here so long.
That’s MIT-speak for “Color Guard Captain”. She also holds the office of Tyrannical Usurper of Power.
Not only was he the mascot two years running, he was a past president too!
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”.
