Beside of just being part of the bands in my school I went out to audition for two honor bands.The first honor band I auditioned for was for the high school students of the Coachella Valley, which I was accepted into.

After these two great experience I continued to practice my talent because I wanted to continue becoming a better player. Also in my freshman year, our school marching band won first place in the California Band State
