It’s Friday night and the football game is nearing halftime. As the students in the bleachers rush to get snacks and drinks, the marching band makes its way out on the field and begins to play.

Senior Kaylee Robinson has been in the Big Red Band since freshman year and has played the baritone and euphonium for about seven years. Robinson joined band in sixth grade when her middle school offered it as an elective. Since then, she has continued to play through high school and has even started to learn trombone. The Big Red Band holds practice every week on Tuesdays and Thursdays and performs at the football games on Fridays.

According to Robinson, one thing she’s looking forward to in band is the away games and getting to spend time with low brass.

Not only is Robinson in marching band, she also plays euphonium in concert band when the football season is over. She stated that concert band is similar to marching band but she prefers marching due to away games and the family aspect that comes with being a part of the big red band.

Robinson has about 16 other people in her section and enjoys spending time with the unique group of people that make up the section. Robinson is also part of the bands leadership team and is the historian which tasks her with running all the bands social media accounts and recruitment of incoming freshmen.

While she runs the @hhsbigredband instagram she also runs a low brass based instagram account (@hhs_lowbrass_) that is used to let others know what fun things are happening within low brass as they do all they can in hopes of winning section of the year.
