Meet the Band: Michael (Euphonium/Baritone)

Michael- is in his second year with us as a Euphonium player. If he could play any other instrument it would be Tuba, "if he could afford one."

When not in band,  he's works cashier and stock at a grocery store, plays computer games, enjoys biking, and plays in a drum corps.

He likes the location of the band and the fact that he can then keep playing during the winter.

Interesting note: his high school band director lent him his euphonium from the "closet of forgotten instruments.  He agreed to give it back on his deathbed". Hope his high school band director is immortal.
