Why the trumpet? It was the only one I could make a sound out of.
What do you like most about band? [Justin]! No really: Spring trips!
Who/What is your inspiration to play the trumpet? Nothing really, it just kinda takes me away from everything.
What do you do in your spare time? Read books, watch T.V., dance, listen to music
Favorite quote: "We grow up hearing that Trumpeters blew down the walls of Jericho, that Gabriel's Trumpet announces the will of God, and that the largest, and hippest, of all animals, the elephant, has a trunk mostly for Trumpeting. These grandiose images shape the classic Trumpet persona: brash, impetuous, cocky, cool, in command. Anyone who has ever played in a band knows that if the conductor stops rehearsal because a fight breaks out, if somebody takes your girlfriend, if a tasteless practical joke is pulled, if someone challenges every executive decision no matter how trivial, it's got to be a Trumpet player. That's just how we are."
--Wynton Marsalis
Favorite musical group or artist: Eminem
Favorite song: Hailey's Song
Favorite subject in school: Band
Favorite teacher: Mrs. Hutchingson
What do you plan to do after you graduate? Go to college and study fashion design.
What's your dream future? Huge mansion!
What irks you the most (pet peeves)? When people act like they love you or care about you or like you and then turn around and tell everyone they don't really like you..
