When I was younger, I was given the opportunity to play at the world-famous Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, I auditioned and played trombone in a New York City-wide jazz band. I actually was able to play here 3 times, once more with the same group, and the third time I was selected by the New York Pops orchestra to play on stage with them.

In high school, I was lucky enough along with 20 other fellow musicians to play in a concert hall in Inuyama Japan for a few thousand people, the first picture is of me and my friend at our host family’s house in Inuyama.

Additionally, with the same group of musicians, I played for Pope Francis’s arrival at JFK airport in 2015.
