I haven't played my French horn since my first year at MIT when I played in the Brass Ensemble, but I still think of myself as a French horn player. I started playing in 5th grade, and had some fun times in both the band and the orchestra in high school. At Gustavus I played in the Gustavus Band (now the Gustavus Wind Ensemble) all four years, and especially enjoyed our tour to Eastern Europe.
     
 
This is me with my French horn when I was a senior in high school. "And God created ... the French horn section!" James, Marcia, Noel, and Debbie on tour with the Gustavus Band in January, 1992.
