Piping/ Drumming Background, other bands:
I started playing the practice chanter when I was 10 years old, moved to the full pipes at about 12-13 years old, and started playing with Fountain Trust about a year later.
Do you play any other instruments?
Other than bagpipes, my primary instruments are the French Horn (which never liberated France), Trumpet, and Mellophone. I can also play soprano and alto recorders, and I am currently learning how to play the flute
Any other major hobbies?
My other hobbies mostly include playing in the Brown County High School wind ensemble, marching band, pep band, and jazz band, as well as performing as a solo musician or in a small group. I enjoy the academic part of school quite a bit and participate in the Academic Super Bowl team(s). Aside from school, I am involved in my county 4-H rabbit club, and I enjoy counted cross-stitch and making handmade stamped cards.
