The AUMB has several student leadership positions, the most visible of which are the drum majors who lead the band on the field and direct the band in the stands. Drum major auditions start with an interview of each applicant by the directors and graduate teaching assistants, along with a conducting audition. Those who pass this first stage then have the opportunity to conduct the band as a whole in various stands tunes during an audition which takes place during a band rehearsal. Each remaining applicant takes part in another audition where they each give a mock lesson on marching technique, as well as demonstrates a routine for the traditional drum major run-out. Drum major selections are announced during the band's end of year banquet. The 2020 Auburn University Drum Majors are Peyton Flowers, Millie Livingston, T.J. Tinnin, and Trace Johnson.
