Laurel Leslie
Vice President 1
My name is Laurel Leslie and I have been a part of the Ben Davis Band program for the last 7.5 years. I am a Ben Davis Alumni and I was in the marching band/band program in the late 80's. My oldest son was in percussion and my youngest son is a current tuba player. I have been a Box Mom, a crew person, a chaperone, and a Booster Board Member. I have been involved with the board for the last 7 years as a vice president. I love working with and for the kids. The band program has given both my children a place to belong and a strong foundation for life skills. I enjoy working with the directors and other parents to make this a truly successful program. Please reach out any time to myself or any of the Boosters if you have any questions or would like to volunteer. We would be happy to help in any way.
Victoria Jennings
Vice President 2
(Dining for Dollars and Raise Right Administrator)
I am a Ben Davis Alumni (Class of 2005). I was born and raised on the west side of Indianapolis and have remained a member of the Wayne Township community as an adult. I have 4 children, 2 boys that have already graduated from Ben Davis and 2 girls who are currently attending Wayne Township Schools. I have been a Certified Pharmacy Technician for about 13 years and currently work for IU Health as a Pharmacy Technician Supervisor.
This is my daughter’s 3rd year in the Ben Davis Color Guard and this will be my 2nd year as a member of the BD Band Boosters Board. I am excited to be a part of such an amazing group and can’t wait to see what this year brings!
Mila Summers
Treasurer
Mila currently has her 3rd (and final) son in the marching band. Her first son (saxophone) graduated in 2018, 2nd son (saxophone) graduated 2023, and the youngest is a sophomore (trumpet) and will graduate in 2026. She has been an active member of the Box Brigade for most of these years, and this is her third term as a Booster Board Member. As a former “band geek” herself (trombone), she understands the important role marching band can have in a student’s high school career and beyond, and is proud to be involved with an organization dedicated to supporting this amazing activity.
Melissa Broz

Melissa Broz has a passion for music and community involvement. As the Secretary and Social Media Manager for the Ben Davis Band Boosters, Melissa brings her expertise as a 1997 Ben Davis graduate with a deep-rooted love for music cultivated through active participation in various choirs during her school days. As a proud mom of two boys, Melissa's oldest son, currently entering his freshman year, follows in her musical footsteps as a second-year participant in the Percussion Marching Giants. Beyond her commitment to the music community, Melissa serves as a Director of Wayne Township 4-H, embodying a well-rounded dedication to both the arts and local organizations.
