The band program means a lot to me because it has helped me become more outgoing and friendly to people. It has also helped me gain much more of an interest towards all things music. When I was a kid I always wanted to be a teacher, but I never knew what I wanted to teach. When I joined band and attended different music classes, I became interested in something that meant little to me at the time.

I have dedicated almost all of my time to band this year, whether that be marching band, concert ensembles, Grand View Wind Ensemble, jazz band, or the honor bands I did this year.

A leader is someone who puts all their needs aside and puts others first. A leader doesn't think just for themselves, but they have to think about their team.

From freshman to senior year, I spend thousands of hours perfecting my craft and in return made longtime friends. As captain of the color guard my junior and senior year, I was able to guide others, give them confidence, and teach them a new skill set. As captain, I enjoyed helping those less experienced than I and ensured they had a positive environment.

The biggest events were football games, where the marching band and I entertained the crowd during halftime, promoting our high school and helping others enjoy the

Of course, I had to audition for the spot with the other alternates, but I was successful in winning a marching spot at that time and have never lost it.
