Rationale

Congratulations to America Gonzalez, the October 2022 Artist of the Month!

 

From Nick Simon:

"This month I have chosen America as the Artist of the month. This year America has stepped into a leadership role with the band. She is always on time, she has greatly improved her trumpet-playing abilities, and she is one of the students that I like to use as an example of what to do. I hope she is proud of the work she has been putting in and I can’t wait to see how much more she grows this year. "
