Born on September 10, 1998 in Omaha, one could say that my life isn't very exciting, and they'd probably be right. Attending grade-school at one of the most sheltered schools in the state, Saint Thomas More, the switch to Creighton Prep for high school was a tough one. Balancing band, school, sleep, and trying my best to keep up with my old classmates left my freshman year as one that I didn't really enjoy. Sophomore year has turned out to be a lot better considering that I've found a new group of people that I enjoy being around.
Band takes up most of my time as I'm often at school at 7 every day to practice. Early band, band class, jazz band, playing for mass, being in orchestra, pep band, coming into band on days off, twice-weekly lessons, and many other music-related things have led to me becoming a much better trumpet player. I made first part in the all-state band and UNO's and Wesleyan's honor bands as well. I hope to be able to major in music education and performance when I go to college.
I normally go by Jacob, but my closest friends call me Fish or Weast. In my free time I like to play and collect older video games from the 80s and 90s. I also enjoy practicing trumpet, piano, and trombone and going to Cane's with Brendan Owens. I mostly listen to music from the 50s to the 70s like the Beatles, Billy Joel, the Eagles, Stevie Wonder, the Bee Gees, and other classic artists. I'm also the undeclared best Super Smash Bros player at Creighton Prep. Just ask Jack Lathrop, Isaac Shields, and Matt Strigenz.
Your commitment to band is extraordinary!
