opportunity! I love this band and this community, and I can't wait to grow alongside
them over these next few years. I hope to bring the best energy I can, and I will

Luke Love
Hello! My name is Luke Love, and I am thrilled to be selected as one of the drum majors
for the 2023-2024 Jaguar Marching Band. I have been a part of the JMB for three years
now, serving as the Euphonium section leader for the past two years. Being in the
Jaguar Marching Band has been such a wonderful experience for me since I came to South,
and I am looking forward to continuing its legacy as a welcoming place that values
passion, pride, and integrity.
I am ecstatic to help lead the band in its vital role of supporting our campus and community as well. Helping grow South's reputation as a thriving and engaged university and making a positive impact in our local community is paramount for me and the JMB. I am so grateful for this opportunity to lead and serve with the Jaguar Marching Band. Go Jags!
