On my trumpet I currently play in Jazz Band, Marching Band, Gallery Brass quintet, Dixieland Combo and Trumpet Choir. On my oboe I currently play in both the Symphonic and Chamber Orchestras, Cantita Woodwind quintet and have played in pit orchestra for Guys and Dolls and Les Miserables. I am currently a member of PCMEA and am historian for my school's organization. I am also involved in POLK Christian Outreach and serve as the chaplain.

in high school i played both trumpet and oboe in All County Band. On trumpet I participated in a Side-by-Side performance with the U.S. Naval Academy Band. On oboe i participated in a Side-by-Side performance with the Prince George's County Philharmonic Orchestra. I also participated in the Assemblies of God Teen Bible Quiz program, memorized 13 books of the Bible and attended National Finals twice.

After school, I hope to join the Navy Bands or Air Force Bands on my trumpet and oboe. I also hope to teach music in some capacity.
