“It's not an overstatement to say the Blugold Marching Band made me the person I am today, and continues to make me the person I will be tomorrow. It's a tremendous joy to get to know the students every year, to work with them, to share stories, and to offer my mentorship and support to them. I've always said I'll continue to participate in BMB as long as it's fun, and if anything, it's more fun now than it was when I started. As much as the BMB has changed through my many years with the group, one thing has never changed at all: This is a place where everyone is welcome, everyone is valued, and everyone is important, and I can't imagine anywhere else I'd rather be.”
