I play piccolo and flute in the Parkview Viking Band, and it’s one of those things that we weren’t able to do last year. This year, we’re actually marching. I love band and being involved. I’m the Vice President of Membership for DECA, I’m in FBLA, I’m involved in theatre. I’m in the music honor society. I’m in the Leadership School here at Parkview.
