Just like Macey, music has played a huge role in my life.I have been part of different percussion ensembles since the fifth grade. In high school, I was the drum captain of the Basha High Percussion Ensemble that won four consecutive state championships and even placed sixth in the world in a competition in Dayton, Ohio. Playing the snare drum has taught me so many different skills that are applicable to many aspects of my life.

Little did I know, the ancient greeks enjoyed good percussion as well. They would play the “daouli” which is a two headed drum made of dog skin. I have very mixed emotions since I love dogs and I love the drums!
