During the winter, the department additionally manages the Imperial Regiment, which is the Tri-City Winter Guard. The department's responsibilities include organizing volunteers and equipment, filing paperwork, managing rehearsals, registering for performances, and recruiting participants.

The Music Department takes care of the artistic aspects of TBC's performances. It has three main tasks: running rehearsals, choosing music to play, and maintaining the music library. With maintaining the music library and choosing performance repertoire comes preparing music for parades and storing crates of music. Leading rehearsals is the most important job of Music, as TBC members often approach the Chief Musical Director or Guard and Drum Captains first if they have questions. For this reason, former CEO Sara Tsai said that the Chief Musical Director is the "face of the group."

The Finance Department, as the title suggests, takes charge of all financial aspects in TBC, focusing mainly on small-scale fundraisers, large scale events and feeds, and applying for grants. Our goal is to ensure that TBC is on stable financial ground. To accomplish this, we set up many restaurant fundraisers and run our own large events (most notably, Festival of Arts and Pasta Feed). Long story short, we’re the ones planning and executing each of these events--almost impossible, but at the same time quite rewarding!

Sandra Hsieh is a junior at Mission San Jose High School. This is her first year as a TBC officer, and she plays the trumpet. Outside of music, she enjoys crocheting stuffed animals, eating, and watching k-dramas. If she were granted 3 wishes, she would wish for 2 million dollars, LOTS of yarn in all sorts of colors, and for her close friends and family to always be healthy no matter what. A fun fact about Sandra is that she wants to be a vet for exotic animals, such as rabbits and chickens and she wants to meet an aspiring veterinarian and inspire others as well.

Evan Tello is a freshman in Newark Memorial High School. This is his first year in TBC, and he plays the trumpet. Besides music, he enjoys exercising, hanging out with friends, and watching YouTube. He's been running with his high school for cross country, doing a bit of weightlifting, and recreational competitive swimming during the summer. If he were granted 3 wishes, he'd ask for lots of money, to have the ability to go back and forward in time, and he'd want everyone to live in peace. A fun fact about Evan is that he loves listening to R&B and Hip Hop music.

Eric Chen is a sophomore at Irvington High School. This is his second year at TBC, and he plays the alto saxophone. His hobbies include reading mystery and thriller novels, swimming, and writing short stories. If he had three wishes, he would wish for infinite wishes, good luck forever, and for his wishes to all come true. A fun fact about Eric is that he really likes turtles. It is his favorite animal and will always be. His room has three turtles painted on the ceiling. Instead of a garden gnome, he has a bronze turtle decoration as decoration.

Current Officer Board
