This year, Lange joined the elite ranks of the three drum majors for the Marching Jayhawks. She will be conducting alongside Hannah Wagner, Ames junior, and Brian Fassold, Olathe senior.
Kelsie Lange, Lawrence junior, remembers the time in the ninth grade when she told her grandmother that one day she was going to be a drum major at the University of Kansas. Years later, Lange has made that dream a reality.
The beginning of football season means the kick off to the best time of the year for band members.
"I am mostly looking forward to pregame. It caught my attention most as a member of the band," Lange said.
"The whole thing is kind of overwhelming. It will take some getting used to." Lange said.
The drum majors are responsible for leading the band out of the tunnels and onto the field to begin the pregame show. Although conducting a band of nearly 300 members in front of a packed Memorial Stadium can be nerve-racking, the adrenaline rush is immeasurable.

Lange has been in band since the sixth grade and plays bass clarinet for concert settings, as well as baritone for marching. She has also been involved in the Army Band

"The tradition would be the biggest expectation I have to live up to as a drum major. I have to do my best and keep the legacy going," Lange said.

HEALTH Seasonal flu shots to be given at Burge Union
Shots are $15 and can be billed to student accounts. The shots do not protect students against the H1N1 flu.
Patty Quinlan, nursing supervisor at Watkins, said the Watkins Memorial Health Center was "ready and available for anyone with flu-like symptoms" and "was "prepared and willing to help."
Individuals with chronic health issues such as asthma are more susceptible to the flu.
"We recommend that anyone with a chronic condition take advantage of this flu clinic," she said.
Shots are first-come,first-served as supplies last, Heidi Garcia, manager of the Watkins Resource Center, said. She said the University would receive more shipments of seasonal flu shots later this fall.
785-864-5823 enroll@ku.edu ContinuingEd.ku.edu/is Check with your academic advisor before enrolling.
Students, faculty, staff and retirees can get a flu shot today between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on the second floor of the Burge Union.
"The responsible thing to do would be to isolate yourself and call the nurse" she said.
She said students with flu-like symptoms were still welcome to make an appointment or walk in to meet with a nurse should they choose.
