Hey ya'll! I'm Kirstie Ballard and I'll be one of the section leaders for the 2012 Racer Band. I am a junior pre-vet major at Murray. I graduated from Daviess County High School in 2010 where I was a section leader my senior year and the rifle captain. I have been in guard since eighth grade so this will be my eighth year being in colorguard. I am also a part of Sigma Alpha, AHT/Pre-Vet Club, Alpha Lambda Delta, and The National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Racer band is one of the best choices I have made since I came to Murray State and I'm sure it will be for you too. You will get to meet a ton of nice people, make new friends, be on campus earlier than everyone else, and continue doing something that you love. This year will be very exciting because we are traveling to Indy to perform at BOA in front of thousands of people! We work hard and have fun at the same time. You won't be bored and when you perform on the field you'll never want to leave. So I can't wait to meet everyone and start another successful and exciting new season of Racer Band!

"This is my third year serving as the caption head for the Racer Color Guard. I have previously marched with Eklipse from 2002-2003 and have helped teach at Calloway County High School with the color guard for the past 6 years. I was surrounded with drum corps and dance at a very early age, as my older brother (Shane, percussion staff), marched. I have also taken dance for ten years and have had the opportunity to teach dance for six years. I taught one year of Intermix indoor guard as the dance instructor & have also helped with other indoor programs. I am a former Racer Band member. I graduated in May of 2011 from Murray State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I encourage you to be a part of Racer Band Color Guard, it's one of the largest organizations on campus & the definitely the most fun!"
