The Dartmouth Wind Symphony

When I first came to Dartmouth, I made sure to apply for and audition for everything.

In high school, I had spent a considerable amount of time dedicated to band, and I decided that in college, I would expand my interests.

However, I made sure not to let go of my musical interest. I tried out for the Dartmouth Wind Symphony-- Dartmouth's premier winds only ensemble. And I have never regretted that decision.

Under the direction of Mr. Marsit, we have done things that one could only imagine. The kind of music that Mr. Marsit makes us play challenges and excites the ensemble.

Tonight, our performance includes music to the silent film "Pandora's Box", and while we play, the film will be playing behind us.

The music that we play never fails to bring shivers.

In addition to the great music we play, I also get to meet an absolutely amazing group of people. In fact, the DWS is where I met my future roommate Annie.

As I look into the future, I look forward to challenging myself and forming new relationships.

For 2014s who really enjoy music, consider this!
