Drum Majors a.k.a. Command Personnel a.k.a. Field Commanders are the ones who "direct" the marching band on the field. They are senior (and sometime junior) band members and are responsible for making sure the band members are ready to go and are prepared for practice. They are chosen by and report to the Band Directors.
Section Leaders are student band members responsible for the students in their section. Basically, each type of instrument is a "section" and has its own section leader. The section leaders are responsible for making sure the students in their section know the music and the marching, and they report to the drum majors.
Squad Leaders are student band members who are responsible for assisting the section leaders in leading their section.
