I rock like I don't know how not to rock! Write to me at 5-0 Rockin' Lane, HI.

Hey!! I'm Nate, and the general manager for the Dartmouth College Marching Band. I help keep the band together and organize fun trips to places like Boston and New York! I'm a trumpet player, so everyone in the band can pretty much tell when I'm playing. Even up here in New Hampshire, I've never had it freeze to my face, so keep that in mind if you're a brass player. I like Russian and Economics.

Hi, I'm Grace and I'm the Secretary, which basically means you'll be talking to me if you e-mail the band account! I'm also the #1 co-pilot of the band's cookie baking squad.

Leah was drawn to the band because she likes to hit things, espcially cymbals, and more recently drums. This year she will also be poking fun at other schools, and taking care of this site.

This year, the right honourable John P. Litherland XIV, Baron of Tuba will be using his godlike brain and superb sense of style to help the band find new ways to impiously ridicule any school that dares to face off against us.

At first glance, Kenny appears to be a normal person. Upon closer inspection, however, you will find that he cannot remember anything before three days ago and has a strange tattoo on his left shoulderblade that reads "Bubbles." For now, he reads marching band shows into a microphone at football games, until one day in three years, when he must travel to a small town in Nebraska to find the man who kidnapped his pet goldfish and started this whole mess... or so he believes...

Joe is a member of the montreme family, the only warm-blooded mammals to lay eggs and play intramural hockey (except for the egg part). He originated in Vermont but has since migrated to New Hampshire, where the ice is better maintained. He is excited to lead the band, perhaps not to victory, but at least to fun.

Laura Michet was grown in a hydroponics laboratory in Kansas in the late 1980s. She was engendered from an early age with a passionate admiration for fancy hats and for awesome. If you also admire either of those things, you would be wise to join her in the DCMB, where she is Librarian. Her primary musical function is to play the marching glockenspiel, and also the snare, and once she tied an empty can of coffee beans to her harness and played that too, but it was kind of a one-time thing. She still thinks that it would be cool to have a whole instrument made out of cans. Perhaps one day her dream will come true. In the meantime, she would love to give you music to play, and perhaps share some of her timeless wisdom with you.

Diana is very excited to be a baton twirler with the DCMB. She has been twirling for 11 years, competing in state and national competitions both individually and with her team from Vero Beach, Florida. Diana is tickled pink to have the opportunity to get out of the gym and onto the field for her second Dartmouth football season. In addition to performing with the band, Diana has discovered that her skills are useful in other situations as well, such as spinning hot iron rods without burning her fingers off and ninja fighting. As social chair, she enjoys making people eat bagels and donuts and starting haiku battles over cyberspace. Her favorite anagrams of her name are handicap tree and heretic panda.

This year (and for all years to follow) Phil has 12 toes, 12 fingers, and loves all 12 dozen 12s in the band. Phil would also like to remind you that there are 12 inches in a foot, 12 face cards in a deck, 12 ounces in a troy pound, and a 12 member board formed by Harry Truman that covered up an alien conspiracy.
