I think [being a drum major is] a really unique way to serve an organization…it’s just an amazing opportunity to stand in front of any horn line, both at Boston [Crusaders] and here at NC State, and to get to see the big picture of the show and big picture of your group.

Gage is a senior majoring in computer science, a trumpet section leader in the marching band, and a member of the jazz orchestra and pep band. This semester he will perform in his final recital to complete his minor in trumpet performance. Gage is also a music department student ambassador.
