What's next?? A male Blue Sapphire?? Oh wait, we've had a couple of those but they were called the Feature Twirler, or something similar. Calling Miss Sheehan the drum majorette doesn't sound right either.

Regardless of all that, congrats Drum Major Ellie!! We'll be looking forward to your performances.

Congrats Ellie!


Gender doesn't matter unless she misses her obligatory pre-game flips and splits, then it becomes ominous.

At least PSU has three and one half (3-1/2) cup cake home games to determine whether she is worthy of being the new Jeff Robertson (the guy who started the front flip and splits tradition).

Isn’t the main “audition” for drum major to successfully perform the flips? If so it might help explain the gender disparity

Yep a big nothing burger… who cares. Just do your thing, girl. Show us it’s not a DEI appointment. Nail it each at home game and no one will notice.

I noticed last years drum major missed a few flips. Maybe missed is incorrect. His landings were a bit sloppy at a few games that the telecast showed. I hope she does well and carries on the tradition.
