TBC Service Awards

Jessica Lee led TBC on our first international performance tour to the London New Year’s Day Parade in January 2016. Jessica took the lead in applying for entrance to the prestigious event, music selection, registration management, equipment manifest management, rehearsals, and more. Furthermore, upon learning that another student could not afford the trip, Jessica donated all of her, quite considerate, fundraising credit to support the student in need.

Kevin Zhu served as Chief Financial Officer during TBC’s first time participating with the Fremont Festival of Arts. Kevin was responsible for completing a complicated registration process, figuring out how to make the food, purchasing equipment, managing the 2-day event, and so much more. Kevin had no help and no previous experience or team to help guide him as he navigated through the process. Kevin’s hard work paid off to just under $5000 in revenue and $3000 in profit, which represented the largest fundraiser event in TBC history at the time.

Jessica Lee presided over the formation of the Cadet Regiment. TBC’s first program expansion in history leading to a 50% increase in overall membership in our first year. The Cadet Regiment has proved to be a great feeder program for TBC and allows our officers and high school members to contribute more to our community. The regiment has also benefited the local community, by strengthening the quality of freshmen recruits entering the high school programs. Jessica’s hard work to make this program possible has had a significant contribution to both TBC and our community.

Jocelyn led the formation of TBC's first winter program the Eternal Regiment, a winter color guard program for junior high and high school students. Jocelyn worked tirelessly to recruit students to a brand new and unknown program, find a rehearsal facility, secure instructors for the program, as well as navigate the registration and insurance process for the first time. She stepped in to help instruct the class as well, and was instrumental in the success of the Eternal Regiment.

Olivia has been a long time participant with TBC, ending her senior year as Director of the Cadet Regiment. During her tenure Olivia made several major contributions to TBC in terms of recruiting new members and participating in events. Olivia is the only officer to have perfect attendance at all parades, rehearsals, and officer meetings for 2 years in a row. Her dedication and commitment to TBC has been impeccable and we are honored to have her as a part of our group.

Ryan Chiu is the first college student to ever serve as an officer in TBC. During his tenure as Chief of Staff, Ryan earned more points in a single quarter than anyone else in TBC history by volunteering for every assignment and program available. Ryan took significant time out of his schedule working more than double his expected workload to support TBC’s activities throughout the year.

Annie Wen was only a sophomore when she became CEO and created the Special Needs Percussion Regiment, a group dedicated to providing musical education to autistic children. Annie was responsible for finding participants, trial sessions, event registration, transportation, equipment, volunteer management, and more. This was the first program not designed to help TBC in any way and the first program not conceived of in our long term plan by our founder. Annie took complete ownership of this program, managing it without much if any support from the rest of the officers in its first year marking a huge step in the growth of TBC.

Chloe Chan was part of TBC for three years. For two years, Chloe served as Senior Financial Officer, responsible for planning and organizing funds, supplies, and fundraisers. In her last year at TBC, Chloe served as Highland Regiment Director, creating one of the only independent student pipe band organizations in the country. Chloe's dedication to her work has had significant contribution to TBC, and we are honored to have her a part of us.

Rachel Yen was a TBC officer for one year and has been in color guard in 8th grade. She served as Administrative Officer, managing SmartMusic for the Hastati Regiment and grades for Auxiliary programs. Rachel later became the Eternal Regiment Director where she was responsible for strengthening one of the only programs in the Tri-City area that provides junior high and high school students to opportunity to learn skills and gain experience to prepare them for color guard in a high school marching band.
