Favorite Band Memory
I loved going to Florida! But my favorite jazz band memory is not of any one concert. It is that feeling of truly loving a performance and letting go. I loved the times when we had a "Buffalo Head" moment and completely gave way to the fun and energy of a gig.

Advice for Underclassmen
Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. When I came into the high school, I never anticipated how much of my time would be invested in the music department. It has been the best part of high school by far. Being in the jazz band changed my life and opened so many doors for me. Trust the directors when they encourage and push you; they saw more possibility in me than I ever could. The only failure is not taking that leap and trying.
