Band spotlight
Drake State has no marching band and never has — it is a ~1,000-student community and technical college whose student life centers on workforce programs, clubs like SkillsUSA and Phi Theta Kappa, and events like the annual car show and the Mr. and Ms. Drake State pageant. There are no band directors to list; marking this honestly rather than padding it.
