\u201cI wanted to be the drum major for the Typhoon so badly that I watched videos I recorded of their halftime show and you can hear me getting excited over every cool cue they added to their routine or every time I was inspired by their performance. I would often find a way to incorporate some moves into my high school marching band performance,\u201d shared Ingram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her determination, practice and lessons over the years proved to be successful. Ingram said being the drum major at JC is one of the best decisions she\u2019s made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
