| "'If a man speaks in the forest, and no woman is there to hear him...is he still wrong?' I started playing french horn when I was in the sixth grade. I bought my first clarinet in the eighth grade and completely forgot about the horn altogether. I've always enjoyed playing and I am glad that I have the opportunity to pursue my interest here at the University of Florida. I currently play in the Wind Symphony, University Orchestra, Clarinet Choir, Contemporary Music Ensemble (where I play bass clarinet), and the Central Florida Symphony Orchestra. During the fall semesters I also play clarinet in the marching band where I was section leader this past season. My outside interests tend to be varied and I am always trying new things." |

I will perform Weber's Concertino with the University of Florida Symphony Orchestra on February 10, 2000. I am very active with the UF chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.

| "I am a junior at UF (second year), majoring in chemical engineering and minoring in clarinet performance. I went to Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando where I discovered my love for both music and chemistry. Hopefully in the future, my engineering will pay the bills, and my music will keep me sane!" |

| "I am a first year graduate student in Wind Conducting, with a special love and commitment to the clarinet as well. In order to be a qualified and reputable conductor, one must first be a qualified and reputable musician, in which a great amount of my time is spent improving upon. My main obligations here as a graduate assistant with the band include assisting with the marching band in the fall and conducting the concert band in the spring. I play Bb clarinet in the Wind Symphony and the Eb contra-alto clarinet in the Clarinet Choir, as well as performing in a woodwind quintet and other ensembles, as time and opportunity permits. 'Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.'--Charlie Parker" |

| "After trying out several disciplines, I think I've finally settled on a course of study! I will be finally graduating soon! Outside of school, I enjoy playing clarinet in the Gainesville Chamber Symphony and the Central Florida Symphony, as well as other paid and unpaid gigs as I have time. My other diversions include volleyball, working out, friends, and the pursuit of computer competence.
