Bios

Ashton Walker
Senior
My name is Ash, and this is my second year being a Field Commander! My primary instrument is Clarinet, and I play the baritone saxophone too. I’m involved in a lot of musical activities, including marching/concert band, jazz band, Christmas chorale band, full orchestra projects, and I was in the pit for the spring musical. I’m very excited to make my last band season the best it can be, and to see how our show develops this season! I love talking to everyone in the band, so please feel free to come talk to me about literally anything, I’m the best listener out of the 3 of us, promise!!!

Caleah McLemore
Senior
Hello! I'm Caleah i'm a senior and this is my second year being a field commander. Commanding the field is my favorite thing to do in band, but I also play the flute! I've played flute since the 5th grade and started playing for Pickerington in the 8th grade. One of my favorite things about being a field commander is getting to know everyone in the band. I love when people just come talk to me! (don't be scared to come talk to me guys I promise i'm nice!) This marching season I'm really looking forward to getting our show down a hundred percent, and hopefully making it to states! Oh and also if you need a laugh you should come talk to me because I am definitely the funniest field commander! :)

Illana Welch
Junior
Hi guys! I'm Illana or more commonly known as Lana and this is my FIRST year as a field commander. Being a field commander has been an interesting chain of events but nevertheless I love this new part of my life like no other and I definitely love my band. Before I was field commander I was a trumpet! I started playing the trumpet in 6th grade for Pick and currently still do play the trumpet for all star brass band! I would say my favorite thing about being a field commander is being able to witness the progression and passion that the band plays with. ( Makes me want to cry honestly) This season I'm looking forward to having our show down 100% and getting all the rightful awards that we deserve and hopefully making it to states this year! Also guys feel free to talk to me because I am definitely the better of the 3 personality wise okay!!
