Hey Alumni!
Hi! My name is Ella, but most people in the band call me Tumble. I’m a junior trumpet majoring in computer science and pursuing a minor in data science. Previously, I was a Webmaster on bandstaph in 2025. I’m really looking forward to meeting a lot of you this year!
Hi! My name is Astrid, but everyone calls me AJ. I’m a junior sax from Charlotte, North Carolina double majoring in Government and American Studies with minors in Africana Studies and Theater. I served as a Fundraising Chair and DEI Chair on the 2024 bandstaph. If you’re in the Class of ‘85, you may remember me as one of your 40th Reunion Clerks! I’m so excited to meet y’all in the 2026 season!
We are both thrilled to be your 2026 Alumni Relations chairs! We’ll make announcements about Giving Day, Reunion, and other spring events here soon. Please reach out to us at ems474@cornell.edu and acj68@cornell.edu with any questions you may have.
Peace and endless snow,
Ella “Tumble” Schneyer ‘27
Astrid “AJ” James ‘27
