Short Bio
Hello! My name is Owen Nichols, and this fall I will be a junior studying Building Science. I graduated from UMS-Wright Preparatory School in Mobile, Alabama, in 2024. This will be my third season with the AUMB as a member of the Battery Percussion section, and I am proud to serve as your Battery section leader for the 2026 season.
Outside of the AUMB I participate in Percussion Ensemble, the Alabama Association of General Contractors, ASC Region 2 Competitions, Club Swimming, and the Dungeons and Dragons Club here at Auburn. I also enjoy rock-climbing, working-out, building LEGOs, hiking, and hanging out with friends.
The Auburn University Marching Band has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Not only has it helped me to grow in musicianship and performance, but taught me valuable lessons of leadership, stewardship, and hard work. The AUMB has also given me a group of great friends here at Auburn that has helped me feel more at home here, which I wish for everyone in the next freshman class. Should you have any questions about the AUMB, drumline, tryouts, etc., feel free to reach out. War Eagle!
