Summary

As long as I have been in the world of music, i have dedicated myself to upholding the highest standard of excellence possible. As such i have surrounded myself with some of the best musicians in the area, both amateur and professional. During my time in undergraduate music, I have garnered a number of accolades and achievements. I am an Upper Lead on the Marching Southerners Trumpet Line as well as being a member of JSU's premier pep-band Hardcorps. I play lead trumpet in one of JSU's premier large Jazz Ensemble, solo cornet in the NABBA division-winning brass band, and principle trumpet for JSU's Wind Ensemble. Even going back to my years in high school, I was in all-state and district throughout my time at Locust Grove. With all of this being said, I pride myself on maintaining a level of excellence in any music-related responsibility.
