Member since? 

August 2018, I'm currently the youngest member at only 15 years old! I'm the baby of the group! :)

​

​

How did you hear about/find us? 

I joined a home school program and was looking for a band to join so I could continue playing, without the stress of marching.  So, my parents and I started internet searching, and found you guys and I'm so glad we did! I have loved every minute in the CCB.  Everyone has been so nice and welcoming!

 

​

What is your musical background/history? 

I joined my middle school band in 6th grade.  I started off by playing French Horn, but switched to trumpet about half way through that year when the band became low on trumpet players. I continued playing trumpet in band through 9th grade, and also joined my high school marching band in 9th grade.  Then, my 10th grade year, I started homeschooling and joined the Crestwood Community Band. During my time in middle and high school, I earned spots in the UAB & University of Montevallo Honor Bands, as well as earning a spot in the high school Symphonic Band as a freshman!   While at Disney World, the band got to perform in an actual Disney music studio. We played Tarzan and Star Wars! We even got a video to remember our time there. I was given a set of Mickey ears that can only be earned by playing in a Disney Studio.

​

What is your favorite “Band Song” to play? 

I just enjoy songs that are upbeat and involve a lot of energy, because I'm able to be myself, and I can enjoy it more when I feel like dancing

​

​

What do you do when you are not playing music? (work/hobbies/for fun???)

When I'm not playing my instrument, I am building in a virtual game called "Minecraft", & following a video tutorial to learn how to build what I want.  Or, I am drawing pictures because I get bored, (not that I'm very good at it). We also have a membership to the Birmingham Zoo, so we go there a lot. I absolutely love animals and especially enjoy visiting the Red Pandas. I also am a member of the Small Talk Puppet Ministry at my church.  Last, but certainly not least, I like spending time with my parents and little sister. This past March, we got to spend 5 days in Disney World, which was the highlight of my life, thus far, and has made me a huge Sorcerer Mickey fan!

 

​

What type of animal/breed of dog/cat/bird/fish/other etc…. best reflects your personality and why? 

The animal that represents my personality the most is an Owl because I'm wise and watchful.

​

​

What is your superpower? 

My superpower is speed under water because I enjoy the water and I like to consider that I'm pretty quick below the surface.  

​

Tell us something fun! You know, like "That one time at band camp..." Or elsewhere. (funny anecdote/story/amazing coincidence/hidden talent/celebrity encounter, etc...)? 

Something about me that those closest to me know, is that I'm really good with animals.  I say I have a hidden ability that causes animals to naturally be attracted to me, or that makes them feel safe around me.  I will go near anything but spiders! And I feel like I'm really good with any animals that could be kept as a pet. I currently have 2 dogs and a cat, but I've terrified my parents into believing that as an adult, I'll be an "every animal lady", running a small sanctuary out of my home, lol.   You know, something like 25 cats, 8 dogs, 6 pigs, 10 horses, 12 chickens, and 65 rabbits!
