This was in the practice lot, so I ran and grabbed the bottle afterwards and recycled it. My favorite sentimental memory is from my junior year. I was feeling down during pizza night at band camp because I felt alone and like I didn't fit in with my section or had any friends there for me, when the tenor freshman Brayden Coulter sat down next to me and said I was his best friend, and asked if he could join me and my friends for Uno. Even though he was probably being sarcastic and didn't mean anything by it, it still made me feel welcomed and he's been pretty cool ever since then.

Jaclyn plays the trombone in the RHS Marching, Concert and Jazz Band.
Her favorite band memory was losing Trent in Meijer and having to use the missing child call to find him.
Outside of band, Jaclyn enjoys drawing, mock trial, working at Gold Star and playing with her dog.
After graduation, she plans to attend Miami University to pursue a degree in Interior Design and start her own little business.
Awesome Jaclyn!

Her favorite memory with the band was the ride to and from Ironton her Junior year. She thought it was a really fun trip and when they stopped she remembers her friend going into eat wearing only half a face of foundation.
Outside of band, Molli enjoys hanging out with friends, watching TV and going on calming drives.
After graduation, she plans to go to school for law, paralegal, or social work (still undecided).
