🌟🎶Let's hear from APS band director Tim Newman!
"Zachary Thelen, a 2026 Alma High School senior, will be marching with the prestigious Michigan State University Drumline this coming fall. The MSU Drumline is one of the premier collegiate drumlines in the country and performs as part of the Spartan Marching Band and also performs as an individual unit. The MSU drumline, under the direction of John Webber, is made up of students from across the country. Zach completed a rigorous, highly competitive audition process to become a member of the tenor drum section. Earning a spot on the MSU Drumline is a comparable accomplishment to a student-athlete earning a spot on a Division 1 athletic team."
"To prepare for the audition, Zach took private lessons from a past section leader of the MSU drumline, attended regular drumline sessions in East Lansing, participated in the MSU Drumline Summer Camp the past several years, and of course rigorously practiced. Zach competed in two rounds of auditions this past spring leading to his being selected for the open spot in the tenor drum section. When asked what this accomplishment means to him, Zach replied 'Through discipline and sacrifice, I was able to work my way to success, and while it demanded most of my personal time and energy, I don't regret how I prioritized my practice. It's a dream come true, and I can't wait for the fall season to start!' Zach will practice with the drumline throughout the summer before becoming a full time MSU student, majoring in political science this fall. "
Congratulations, Zach! 🐾
