![The percussion section is known for being lively and yet also very locked in for the musical side of the band. Meyer, being a percussionist himself, has many tales of mischief from his years of participation. “After a season of marching band was over, [...] we would have a stick throwing competition at the end of the season and we would see who could chuck our sticks the farthest across the football field.”](https://bearingnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/JoMeyerPhoto1-300x200.jpg)

Transferring from Spain, Pezuela watched soccer a lot, but never played because it wasn’t popular at her school. “No, [club sports] [don’t] exist. If you do a sport, it needs to be with your school, but no one really does sports [in Spain].”](https://bearingnews.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Wampler-Marta-Pezuela-Photo2-300x200.jpg)
