00:00.940 --> 00:04.690
it's been an absolute dream . I've been

00:04.690 --> 00:06.610
here for six years and I have

00:06.620 --> 00:09.270
experienced things that I never dreamed .

00:09.280 --> 00:11.169
I would experience . I've gone to

00:11.169 --> 00:13.260
places I couldn't have imagined ever

00:13.270 --> 00:16.560
going . Well . I grew up in a musical

00:16.640 --> 00:19.820
and military family . So the music and

00:19.820 --> 00:21.931
the Air Force have always been a part

00:21.931 --> 00:24.209
of my life . But when I was in college ,

00:24.209 --> 00:27.000
I learned about the Air Force band and

00:27.010 --> 00:29.290
what their mission is and how what it

00:29.290 --> 00:31.890
takes to be part of it and realized

00:31.900 --> 00:34.270
that , oh , I could I could do that .

00:34.280 --> 00:36.447
It's an audition process . So like any

00:36.447 --> 00:39.000
band you auditioned to be a part of it .

00:39.010 --> 00:42.540
And when I won the audition , I began

00:42.540 --> 00:44.484
the process of going through basic

00:44.484 --> 00:48.330
training . I've gotten to sing for

00:48.330 --> 00:50.770
people that have never seen a military

00:50.770 --> 00:52.890
member and I've gotten to sing for

00:52.890 --> 00:55.310
people who've never seen a band perform

00:55.310 --> 00:57.366
live . It has been the best decision

00:57.366 --> 00:58.160
I've made so far .
