2026 Pubman + Historian Introduction 🤎🤍💛
Marching 97 Publicity Manager
Hi there Alumni!
My name is Mailei Schechterly and I will be the ⭐ Publicity Manager ⭐ for the 2026 Marching 97 season! A little about myself, I am currently a junior from Pottstown, PA, studying Material Science and Engineering. I am in Rank 8 (or Rank GREAT) and play the baritone! When I’m not doing band stuff, you can find me in other arts programs like Women’s Choir (aka Lehigh’s Dolce), Symphonic Band, and theater productions (currently Into the Woods). 🤎🤍💛
I also wanted to introduce this season’s Historian:
Hi there! My name is Kaylee Delaney and I am currently a freshman studying Earth and Environmental Science! I am from Centerport, NY, and I play bari sax in Rank 8 (aka RANK GREAT). Outside of the 97 I am a part of Symphonic Band, Kappa Kappa Psi, and Lehigh Equestrian Club. I’m excited to learn and capture the history of the Marching 97! 🫶
Announcements:
