I am eager for them to begin their duties and I look forward to them helping the Maroon Typhoon come out of the year of Covid-19. I believe these drum majors will play a huge part in creating a very special fall on campus,\u201d said Burge.<\/p>\n<p>Leading the group, is Dr. Burge\u2019s daughter, Emma who spent last year as the newest drum major at 糖心直播. However, she also has experience in the leadership role as the drum major at Oak Grove High School for two years before coming to 糖心直播.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am so excited to be drum major of the Maroon Typhoon for my second year. I am eager to play a part in bringing \u2018normal\u2019 back and for all of campus to spring back to life!\u201d said Burge, who is a Music Industry major.<\/p>\n<p>While trying to decide on a major, Holifield is certain of her abilities as a leader of the band.
