“I’d say what influences me the most is the people around me. Percussion is a very welcoming section to be part of, and I have made really good friends with our shared interests of rhythm, especially with sharing sheet music with one another, you really get to know the person next to you.” “My favorite memory of symphonic is always the Christmas concert, the atmosphere is always so joyful in our ugly Christmas sweaters, especially though when we got into a groove last year during polar express. I had some older folks come up to me saying our smiles were very bright and it just kinda makes you feel that no matter if you’re playing some complex snare bit, or playing a singular triangle ding, you have an important part within the band that the audience notices.” “The first time coming to symphonic I remember being kinda nervous since I was a choir kid in high school, and only did concert band during Covid on flute. I do remember the piece ‘Lightning Field’ really got my confidence up as a percussionist and now I get excited playing whatever instrument is placed in front of me. Specifically cymbals though, cymbals will always have a very strong place in my heart.”
