The Reeltown High School Marching Band has recently selected its newest drum major.
Rising sophomore Amelia Dillman is stepping in as the new Marching Rebel Pride’s drum major to lead the band next year. She started in the band as a flutist and midway through the season was moved to cymbals for the stand tunes. This past year, she played the piano for the halftime show and was on bass drum in the stands.
