Hi! My name is Sophia Broesamle. I am 22 years old and I am the new guard instructor for the Crimson Kings! I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Screen Arts and I work full-time at the United Nations as a Program and Marketing Assistant for a non-profit organization. I have 11 years of experience with marching band and 5 years experience with dance and winter guard. In college, I marched with the Michigan Marching Band and was able to be a rank leader for the Michigan Flags. With this Marching Band, I performed in front of over 110,000 people multiple times! It was amazing. In the winters, I marched with the Michigan Winter Ensemble and competed in the Independent A class in WGI and MCGC. I have a great love and admiration for Band and I am excited to be able to work with the Crimson Kings!
