Q. When did you start playing your instrument?

A. I started playing the alto saxophone in the eighth grade Jazz Ensemble at Boardman Center Middle School.

A. My best memory of being in marching band was the trip we took to Disney World last year. We got to march through the Magic Kingdom and it was such a great experience and so exciting to see all the people smiling and waving. Another great memory from that trip was getting to spend New Year’s in Hollywood Studios with all of my closest friends.

A. Music is very important to me because it is a way for me to express myself and it is something I feel very passionately about.

Q. What college do you hope to attend/intended major?
