I was born in Charleston, SC, then we moved to Phoenix, AZ, then Memphis, TN, then to my current home near Richmond, VA. My parents have been divorced for about 4 years, and I live with my mom. I have two adorable siamese cats named Rusty and Yoda and a few fish.
My musical life began in Arizona where I played the violin in 4th grade, but then when we moved to Tennessee the school system had recently cut its strings program due to budget problems, so I switched to clarinet in the 6th grade, which was the first year they offered it. I've played clarinet ever since and I love it! Anybody who knows me knows what a band nerd I am, I'm the person who non-band people go to if they have a band question.
I'm currently a sophmore in high school and I'm in the highest level band my school offers: symphonic. I adore marching band! Proud member of the Marching Trojans! This season which just ended our field show was called a Russian Tableau with music from Tchaikovsky, Moussorgsky, Shostakovich, and Stravinksky. It was a really good show, we got a Superior at VBODA which sets our school up for our 16th VA Honor Band. Next year's field show will be music from West Side Story, so that will be lots of fun.
College hopes: I wanna be a plastic surgeon (strange choice i know, but I think that its amazing what they do). In a money-free world I want to go to Dartmouth, but since my mom is a single parent and a teacher, thats not exactly likely, so more realistically UVA has a good med school.
So yea, now I've sufficiently bored you all, haha. Here's some pictures of me:
