Auxiliary Units Roster of the THSMB

Majorettes have been an integral part of the THSMB ever since the consolidation and creation of Triway, but the flag corps had a limited life and drum majors have only been leading the band intermittently since 1978.  After the 1984-1985 school year the flags were disbanded (no pun intended).  The flag corps was mostly made up of non band members as a way to include them into the band program, but majorettes and drum majors were and are members of the band and play their instruments during concert season.  Until the marching band season of 2002, all majorettes had to be at least an incoming sophomore to try out for a spot on the majorette line.  This gave them fun & valuable experience as a marching band member during their freshman year and helped them develop a feeling of being "one of the group".  However, the decision was made in 2002 to no longer do this, and the band had its first freshman majorettes that year.  Another fact about the majorette line is that from the beginning, Triway had a head majorette position.  This distinction was dropped in 1990 and hasn't been used since.

This list is NOT COMPLETE for the majorettes of 1971, 1973, 1974, and 1976 or for the Flag Corps at all!
