Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I am a senior at Cordell High School. On top of being a senior, I am a 2nd year student and Class Representative of Cosmetology at WTC. At school, I am the senior drum major of the Cordell High School Marching band, and I am a member of the Cordell Flag Team. My favorite thing about school is band. Music has always been a part of my life. I am beyond thankful to have such an amazing band family, including the band boosters, to support me and to create amazing memories with.

What has been your favorite part of school and why?
My favorite part of school has to be meeting all the new band kids because it makes me remember how my early years in marching band were like. Plus, they are some of the most creative, kindest, and most hard-working people I have ever met.
Are you in any sports, clubs, or other extra curricular activities?
I am the Cordell High School Marching Band Drum Major and I am also a member of the Cordell Flag Team.

Making good grades to stay in band because I don’t want to let the band down. Another motivator is my parents and my little sister.

I enjoy spending time with my pets, listening to music, and hanging out with my little sister and friends.

My goal is to earn my cosmetology license and to become a traveling cosmetologist, as well as attending college.
Is there anything else you’d like to say?
Joining band has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Band is like my second home because I get to spend time with other people who share the same passion for music as me. It is a place where I feel the most comfortable, supported, and accepted.
