Since freshman year, I took the time to back up the cast of musical with my skills of piano and violin. The hours of rehearsal varied but it came to an average of 15 hours per week. I sacrificed much of my time to help and fill the position of an instrumentalist. Throughout high school I played in the following musicals: Once on this Island, The Wizard of Oz, The Music Man, Once Upon a Mattress, Zombie Prom, The Boy Friend, and the Addams Family.
