San Benito High School student Rebecca Cartelli is leading the way with a new job as a drum major instructor for students across the state.
Earlier this year, Cartelli, who marches in front of the San Benito High School Scarlet Regiment Band, was invited to perform in the world-famous London New Year’s Day Parade following her selection as an All-American drum major at one of the summer camps hosted by the United Spirit Association.
Now, Cartelli has been hired by the same group as an United Spirit Association drum major instructor, according to an email from the band director that was shared with the Free Lance by Superintendent John Perales.
This means that she will be instructing drum majors from across state in the art of being an effective commander for their respective band programs, according to the email. The Baler is the first drum major from the high school to be hired to instruct at the state level, according to the email.
