Cadet lures her dream
' By KARA BOUNDS
• Eagle staff writer
Since arriving at Texas A&M and
joining the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band
three years ago, senior Sherry Reid
has had a dream of putting down her
clarinet and leading the band onto
Kyle Field as a member of the bugle
. for 1 game
rank.
But attaining such an elite position
would require strict discipline and
precision timing. And for Reid, it
would also mean breaking down gen-
derbarriers.

thing I wanted to accomplish in
band -- to be the first girl iu the
bugle rank," she said.
Reid, 21, was elected by other
band members last year to be the
first alternate on the 12-member
bugle rank. When a regular mem-
ber was unable to march at the
pct. 9 game against the Universi-
ty ofHouston, Reid got her chance
to make a dream come true.
A few days after her perfor-
mance, Reid said that the experi-
ence of leading the 325-member,
all-cadet Aggie band onto Kyle
Field in front of thousands of
spectators was exhilarating.
However, she said, it was also a
bit trying on her nerves.
"All week during drill, I was
fine," she said. "Then at the
game, I was nervous as could be."
She conquered her nerves,
however, and gave a flawless per-
formance, which didn't go unno•
ticed.
"I've had people who didn't
know I was marching who saw
me at the game and said, 'Wow,
that's really cool,' "Reid said.
Among the spectators were her
parents, who traveled from
Omaha, Neb., to watch her march.
Her father, Col. Robert Reid, is a
member of the A&M Class of'70.
Reid was selected the first
alternate on the bugle rank from a
vote last year by the section ser-
geants. The sergeants, who are
sophomores, choose the bugle
