I am Everest Liu, currently a senior at Atholton High School. At around kindergarten, I began getting involved with music by playing the piano. At fourth grade, I started to play the trumpet. As the years progressed in my school life, I took part in many school music activities with the trumpet, including Wind Ensemble, the Atholton Marching Band, Jazz Band, Pit Orchestra. I also became involved in music outside of school, playing in Howard County GT Band/Orchestra, Maryland Senior All-State Band, and even Macy's Great American Marching Band for Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was the beginning of high school when I developed a strong passion for music, as I truly had fun and connected with my bandmates. I plan to minor in music in college and also continue marching band.
