What's the best thing about playing in the band? The worst thing? 
The best thing about playing with the band is hearing the music come to life and feeling the difference between hearing it on speakers and live. The worst thing about playing with the band is being afraid that I'm going to make a mistake.

What is your favourite quote?                                                                       "Blow through the instrument, not at the instrument."   

Is there anyone you want to thank or some thoughts you would like to share?                                                                                                                  I'd like to thank my family and my grade six teacher for introducing me to music.
