Current Officer Board

Individual Job Descriptions

The Executive Team oversees the five departments within Tri-City Band Corps: Supply, Music, Finance, Operations, and Technology. The Executive Team is responsible for all aspects of Tri-City Band Corps, which includes: managing the officer board, distributing and following up on tasks, filing legal paperwork, contacting and communicating with sponsors and alumni, interviewing members for acceptance onto the officer board, implementing developmental activities for the officers, dealing with unexpected emergencies, and most importantly, maintaining a clear vision of the future of TBC and setting goals that will lead the organization towards achieving that dream.

The Auxiliaries department manages Tri-City Band Corps' auxiliary programs: the Special Needs Percussion Regiment, the Hastati Regiment which is TBC's elementary band, the Eternal Regiment, Drum Major International, and the Cadet Regiment. 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 Supply Department is in charge of all the necessary equipment that TBC owns. The department deals with 150+ uniforms, repairing ones that are damaged, and taking stock of the current number of uniform parts when necessary. The department is also responsible for buying new uniform parts when needed and planning uniform distribution/collection logistics during each parade season. They also manage the percussion equipment that TBC owns; they are in charge of storing/maintaining percussion and ordering replacement parts. During parade season, this department is vital in the transportation of equipment to rehearsals and parades.

The Operations Department takes care of managing recruitment, officer bondings, and regulating officer benefits, health, and safety. The department is also responsible for planning bonding events, organizing carpools and buses for performances, registering for parades, and managing service hours. Recruiting members is an important job of the Operations department, as it is how the organization grows. In addition, it is also responsible for sending out quarterly newsletters to keep members updated about TBC's recent activities.

The Finance Department, as the title suggests, takes charge of all financial aspects of 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 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!
