Wyatt Dyer
​Vice President, Low Brass

I came to Murray State for a music degree but have gotten so much more than that. I now have a family that grows every year, people that I can always count on, and most importantly the mighty Racer Band to always perform like we have been doing this forever.

Hi everyone! My name is Addi Bussen and I will be the Vice President of High Brass for the 2022 Season. This will be my 4th year in Racer Band, and I can’t be more excited! I’m from Eureka, Missouri which is about 35 minutes outside of St. Louis, and I graduated from Eureka High School in 2019. I am a music and psychology double major hoping to be a music therapist. I’ll be a senior this year and I have been in some form of marching band for seven years now. I love music and Racer Band is a great (and super fun) way to show it! I look forward to meeting all of you! If you have any questions of any sort (about Murray, Racer Band, or life in general) you can call/text me at 636-579-5994 or email me at abussen@murraystate.edu.

Lauren Montgomery:
​Vice President, Color Guard

Hey lovelies! I'm so excited to return for my third year as one of your captains AND your VP for the 2022 season! I graduated from Calloway County High School right here in Murray in 2018. I currently have my degree in engineering physics and minor in mathematics and am finishing my final year in my accounting degree. Fun fact: I will be the first person at Murray State to obtain these degrees simultaneously! This will be my fifth season spinning with Racer Band and my twelfth year since I started guard (don't call me old). I also have the honor of teaching guard at some of the local schools here! This sport is so close to my heart and something I am extremely passionate about and I can't wait to share this experience with you! Please message me if you have any questions, need help with anything, or want to make a friend!
