- Assisted in community events, namely those amongst my school's special education population, by taking time to play my instruments during their basketball games. Boosted their morale greatly and made them feel included in the school's broader student body.
- Collaborated with fellow percussionists to schedule practice meet-ups. These after-school meet-ups ensured everyone knew their music, and those who did not received appropriate assistance. These were critical to keeping the drumline organized as a section.
- Managed communication with our band director and other sections of the band, ensuring timely updates and feedback collection. This feedback would then be taken into account and appropriate changes made.
- Developed training practices for learning drummers, fostering a supportive learning experience.
