French Horn
"I started out playing flute in fifth grade. My High School band director needed more brass and fewer woodwinds so asked me to play mellophone during marching band season. I liked the power of it so much I switched to French Horn for concert season and I think it is the most awesome instrument - especially in Star Wars music."

Joan Greland-Golstein
Secretary
Percussion
"I wanted to be in the band in seventh grade because I had a crush on a trombone player. I had never taken piano lessors and hadn't started learning an instrument in grade school as many of my classmates had. My friend suggested I join her in learning to play the snare drum. I loved it, and the rest, as they say, is history (and I soon lost interest in the trombone boy)."
