Q. When did you start playing your instrument?

Q. Best memory of being in band/marching band?

A. Ford and Gilbert: My best memory is when I traveled with the marching band to New Orleans to play at the BCS Championship Game at half-time. I also enjoyed going to Cedar Point.

Q. Why is music important to you?

A. Ford: Music is important to me because it allows me to express myself in a way that some kids can’t. I really enjoyed playing Symphony Number 5 by Dmitsi Shastakovich because it is such an amazing song.

Band has been such a great experience for me, and it has helped me to become more confident in myself.

Gilbert: Music is a great way to express yourself. Also, being with my friends

in band has been a lot of fun. I think my most favorite number we have played is Seussical the Musical in the seventh grade.

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

A. Ford: I plan to attend The Ohio State University, however, I am undecided on my major at this time.

Gilbert: I hope to attend The Ohio State University.
