Music! It's basically awesome...

In some way or another, I am involved in every musical group the high school has to offer. My main instrument is trumpet. Here is how I am involved:

 

Marching Band:
Well, this one is obvious. Marching Band is the most important musical activity I am involved in, and is the reason that I stick with my instrument. The greatest part about Marching Band was when we won Nationals in 2006 (my freshmen year).

Jazz Band:
In a nutshell, Jazz is just Jazz. The free expression and openness of the genre really lets me just lay everything out on the table. The most fun thing we do is when we play at the Vikings club downtown for about 3-4 hours near the end of the school year.

Orchestra Winds:
I really do love to play music, but some of the real magic of our school's fine arts programs isn't really in the music itself. I'm a member of the wind section in the Orchestra, and one of the honors that goes along with that is being able to play at Singing Christmas Tree. This is one of the most awesome events of the entire year.
