Short Bio
War Eagle! My name is Matthew Thompson, and I am extremely excited to be serving as one of your mellophone section leaders for the 2026 AUMB season. I grew up in Alabaster, Alabama and graduated from Thompson High School in 2023. This fall, I will be a senior majoring in Exercise Science and spending my fourth year with the AUMB. In addition to the AUMB, I have been in ensembles such as Symphonic Winds, Concert Band, Symphony Orchestra, Horn Ensemble, and Basketball Pep Band.
Being a member of the AUMB has been the highlight of my college career. I’ve met many of my closest friends and been blessed with so many wonderful experiences during my time in this band. It is very rewarding to be in a group that always executes at such a high level, representing and upholding the standard for our amazing university.
If you have any questions about the AUMB or Auburn in general, please reach out, as I’d be more than happy to answer them! I’m excited to see you and get to work at preseason camp. War Eagle!
