When I arrived at Elizabeth Seton, I was a musician who was technical but lacked confidence. During my time in the Seton band program, I have been constantly challenged to step outside my comfort zone musically and have grown as a musician as a result. I have also been able to create lifelong memories with some of my closest friends that I will be able to cherish forever.  Because of the Seton Band program, I have been able to continue my love for music while forming close bonds and experiences that will stay with me once I leave.
