Favorite memory from high school: I greatly enjoyed participating in the band throughout my high school years. The opportunity of improving my musical skills in piano and alto saxophone, and learning a new instrument, bassoon, was great fun. Through marching band, being drum major during my senior year was also one of the greatest experiences I had in high school.
