Q: AS YOU PURSUE ENGINEERING IN YOUR CAREER, WHAT ROLE DO YOU SEE MUSIC PLAYING IN YOUR FUTURE?

A: In college I would really like to find ways to merge music and engineering. In particular, I’m really interested in studying music technology with electrical engineering and perhaps becoming a music producer or recording engineer.

Q: WHY IS CHOIR SO IMPORTANT TO YOU?

A: Choir is important to me because I truly feel welcomed and accepted by everyone in the class. It’s a great environment where everyone is willing to help each other out and truly make some great music. Even with online school this year, I still had a lot of fun. We had several online games and bonding activities, so it still felt like we were at the high school together. As for performing for a virtual concert, it was a little bizarre. Instead of singing together in person, we had to manually record our voices and merge them together using software. However, I still think our final piece came out well and I’m really proud of it.

Q: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO AN INCOMING SOPHOMORE?

A: Take school seriously, but also branch out and have some fun. Join new clubs and take interesting electives because you can!
