Jonah Jacobbi
Q: What is it like to lead the low brass in the Marching Band of Pirate,
and how has that responsibility impacted you as a student and into the
future?
A: When it comes to leading, it made me take a different approach to
music. [When you lead,] you have to actually listen for mistakes and
then have to think about what can be improved. When you’re in the
middle of something, you don’t necessarily always know what needs
improvement. But if you can mentally distance yourself and look from
another perspective, you start to notice what can be fixed and improved.
Q: What do you love most about marching?
A: When I first joined marching band, I didn’t understand what people liked about it. It was exhausting, it was hard
and it seemed like there was no point to it. Then I had my first performance, and my mindset completely changed.
When you perform a marching band show, it goes by in a minute in your head, and it feels amazing. And if it’s a good
performance? It’s something you’ll remember for a long time.
Olivia Orlando
Q: What inspired you to start / continue dancing?
A: Like any sport, it’s hard to keep going especially for as long as I
have. Injuries and setbacks happen all the time but what’s kept me
going is my love for dance and the great teachers I’ve had along the
way. A good teacher really can make or break you in any sport and
I’ve been blessed to have some of the best.
Q: What is your favorite thing about dancing?
A: My favorite thing about dancing is performing. I used to have
really bad performance anxiety right before going on stage, and I
still do, but it’s the after-performing that always gets me. When the
audience is clapping and you think to yourself “I did good” - there’s
no better feeling.
