Band announces 2016-17 Drum Majors

Introducing the Drum Major team for the 2016-17 season!

Danny Martin
Head Drum Major

I am an International Economics major and Theology minor from Northbrook, Illinois, in the north suburbs of Chicago. In addition to being a member of our outstanding trumpet section, I participate in our concert bands as well as the basketball band. I have the opportunity to serve as co-service commissioner for the Band of the Fighting Irish and work in the band building as a FUIC (Friendly Uniform and Instrument Custodian). Outside of band, I play in Notre Dame’s Symphonic Orchestra, and will be returning for my second summer as a Mentor in the Notre Dame Vision Program. It is a huge honor to serve our Band family as Drum Major, and I cannot wait to march with them come next season!
