"One of my favorite things in the biannual Young Artist Competition, it’s so much fun to see the students perform with the band. I had the privilege of performing when I was a student, and love seeing the excitement the kids bring to the band when they’re able to perform a solo with the group. (And as Treasurer, my favorite thing is writing out those scholarship checks!)"
