Trombone
Music is very important to me! This image of the trombone is part of my past, present and future. I currently play the trombone in the Rutgers Pep Band, the Marching Scarlet Knights and Rutgers Concert Band. The trombone is my hobby and also may be part of my professional future too. I played the trombone since 4th grade, throughout middle school and high school in jazz bands, symphonic bands and state champion Wind Ensemble. I hope to play gigs with the trombone in the future, and I am a music minor at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts.
Piano
The piano image shows my music experience since it was my first instrument. I studied piano from third grade to senior year of high school. Specifically, the piano really helped me understand the process of learning how to read the notes of treble clef and bass clef. This music experience started by following how the lines and spaces are studied in music pieces. Therefore, starting with the piano really helped me learn how to read music successfully.
NFL Logo
The NFL logo image is displayed since it is my most favorite sport to watch, and is the most popular sport in America. In the NFL, I am very interested in interpreting whether or not players can replicate their college career days when it comes to both the offense and the defense that played at really good college football programs. I am skilled with score predictions and statistics and hope to somehow use the skill in the future. Moreover, the NFL makes it very easy for me to break down why experts think each team can win or lose their individual week per matchup. The NFL makes me so happy because I really like to pay attention to the evaluation of how quarterbacks will fare throughout their careers based on if they will stay on short-term or long-term with each team depending on if the takeaways are positive or negative from how they performed in their matchup. Basically, the most important principle of the NFL is finding out if it is necessary for a team to go through a rebuild process per offseason depending on if their organization is a mess. For instance, an organization of the NFL is required to focus on whether it needs a better offense or defense because it must show if it can have a bright future and put the bad past behind them.
Macy’s Parade 2023
According to the picture of me at Macy’s parade back in 2023 with the Rutgers University marching band, it became a huge memorable performance moment for me in my life as it was a huge once in a lifetime thing. To this point, I was very happy that the Rutgers University marching band 2023 Macy’s Parade was watched by a million viewers that really enjoyed seeing our huge marching band on TV. Furthermore, I was super proud of myself for becoming famous after I was seen on TV at Macy’s Parade in 2023 which was the greatest moment of my life that made my family and friends very proud of me.
Rutgers Football Homecoming 2022
Based on the picture of me and Sir Henry in the stands at SHI Stadium back in my freshmen year at Rutgers from homecoming 2022, it indicates that me and him began to become really good friends and he is my most favorite mascot of all time. Sir Henry is my favorite mascot of all time because he really gives people very high energy when they cheer on Rutgers at their home sporting events. Sir Henry really enjoys going into the stands at the football games and all sports and I have experienced that throughout my career at Rutgers and even before I came to Rutgers.
Bands of America (Rutgers)
The picture of me and my baritone in a Rutgers marching band uniform shows a flashback of when I participated in a Bands of America regional event after warmups before taking the real show to action from freshmen year of Rutgers. To this point, it shows me and the Rutgers marching band walking to the SHI Stadium field before the high school bands were fully finished with their prelims.
High School Spring Track
The picture of me running on my high schools’s track team displays a memory of my senior spring track season back in 2022. Additionally, this picture has a memory of me being a sprinter as a senior in high school at a track meet that took place at our home stadium named “Gary Kehler Stadium” in Westfield, NJ.
High School Marching Band
This picture of me in a high school marching band competition indicates a moment from when I played baritone throughout sophomore year of high school. Moreover, this is an image of me in a marching band competition at East Brunswick High School from sophomore year of Westfield, NJ High School back in 2019.
Jazz Band Performance (High school)
Based on the jazz band performance that I did back as a senior in high school, the picture shows me performing on the trombone at a breakfast with the bands event. Specifically, this picture was of me in my high school’s Jazz 1 Band Group.
