Annabelle Temple
Drum Major Annabelle Temple is from Arlington Heights, Illinois. She is currently finishing her sophomore at the University of Iowa studying Music Education (BA) and Clarinet Performance (BM) with an Art minor. Annabelle was a member of the clarinet section for two years and served as an undergraduate staff member during the 2025-2026 season. During her time in the HMB, she has traveled to both Nashville for the Music City Bowl (2024) and Tampa for the ReliaQuest Bowl (2025). She was selected as the Drum Major of the Hawkeye Marching Band in the spring of 2026, and is excited to take the field in Kinnick Stadium with the rest of Band 146.
On campus, Annabelle is involved in the University of Iowa Dance Marathon. She participated her freshman year as a dancer, and this past year she was a Lime Captain for Miracle Group 21. She is also involved in Sigma Alpha Iota Zeta Epsilon Chapter, which is an international music fraternity. During her summers, she works at John Hersey High School as a Marching Band Staff Member for the clarinet section. Annabelle loves everything music related but also enjoys spending time with family and friends, baking, reading, bowling, playing games, and traveling.
