A former Steller Band member, Erica Stryker is now participating the Washington State University Cougar Marching Band.  She is probably the first Steller Band student ever  to participate in a college marching band.  “I am super delighted to see Erica with the uniform”, said Mr. Toba, the Steller band teacher.  Each Cougar Marching Band member will get a stipend at the completion of the season. “Many college marching bands will offer all kinds of financial assistance.  I encourage all of the Steller Band members should keep playing until they graduate from college. Erica is taking advantage of that.”
