Our next senior from class of 2026 is Alex!
“Hi, my name is Alex (the one whose last name starts with a P), and I have been in band since the 4th grade (thats like 8 years). I was a trombone player when I started band but switched to percussion because it looked more fun and I thought it would be easier. I have made many memories in band, from the activites we did in band camp and the football seasons, to the band performances we did around our community and the little side quests I would have with friends in the band. If I were to choose my favorite one, it has to be our trip to Chicago. It was such a great time hanging out with friends while exploring a city outside of California and I am forever grateful for that experience, especially since it was my first time out of state. After high school, I plan to go to Allan Hancock College and hopefully transfer to a 4-year university to major in history (and maybe minor in music but who knows🤷♂️). A piece of advice I would give to current/future members is to just have fun and enjoy band. Time can go by fast without you realizing, so try your best to live life and enjoy your time in band while you are in high school. Ok, thats it.”
