Penn State Homecoming announced its 2023 honorary grand marshal Monday afternoon, bestowing the honor upon Blue Band director Dr. Gregory Drane.
The annual event’s grand marshal is selected on the basis of notable achievement in the honoree’s field of study, career path, and local community writ large.
“The Homecoming Executive Committee is thrilled to have Dr. Gregory Drane represent Homecoming as their Honorary Grand Marshall and they are looking forward to the community getting to know him better and see what he has done to inspire the Penn State community,” a Homecoming release read.
