adding functionality before loop

I am trying to get something to happen before the loop runs inside ALM. For example, I am querying all posts in ‘archive’ and im querying 6 at a time. Before the loop runs, I want to echo the sub category every six are in. For now I just say ‘title’. Any way to add a filter to do this in $alm_query ?

$archive = new WP_Query( $archiveposts );
	if ( have_posts() ) {
		echo 'title';
		while ( $archive->have_posts() ) : $archive->the_post();
			//Repeater
		endwhile;
	}
	wp_reset_postdata();
