Currently plays: Percussion
Favorite Instrument: Marimba

Band Experience: Total 10-11 years, 5 years playing saxophone, and 7 years playing percussion, 6-7 years in marching band

Thoughts about new AC marching band:
"I think it will be a good experience for the band members here. When I was thinking of attending Adrian College, I was disappointed there was no marching band. I was a big marching band geek in high school and was going to miss that. Now with the new marching band, the Adrian College experience will be the ultimate college experience!"

Thoughts for prospective students:
"To anyone considering Adrian College, you will have the marching band family connection you have in high school. We are a very tight-knit group and it is very well worth it. At Adrian College you are not just a number, you are a name!"
