Junior year was filled with music; I have a lot to be grateful for!! I am blessed to work with so many different people who all work together as a team and many who feel like family. This post just some of my favorite pictures, but does not come close to representing everything I did this year. Also sorry Godspell cast, I’m limited on tags 😔Jackson got tagged cuz Jesus and Carter got tagged for spotlighting cookie monster🙂‍↕️

One of my favorite parts from my senior recital! 🎹🕺

Out of the charts we played, I think arranging the horns for this one was the most fun. I loved sneaking in different quotes with some ear candy runs, which made it fun for me, the audience, and (I think and hope) the horn section!

Just a few of my favorite shots from my senior recital :)

I had the challenge, and genuine honor and privilege to music direct, perform, and arrange the horn charts for my recital. I played some classical, solo jazz, jazz combo, and ended the night with @theviavicaryband . I am so grateful to so many people that I could not have done this recital without. It truly was a blast and a great way to wrap up my time at @samfordu
