In band Stevens is a drum major, she received a 1 rating on her flute solo this year, and was apart of Kansas Music Educators Association, (KMEA) District and All-State Band.
“My favorite part of choir and band is getting to know and work with others that love music like I do. We all practice and rehearse for the same goal, to make great music, and have fun while doing it,” Stevens said.
Stevens’ inspirations are her music teachers.
“They have helped me to appreciate the beauty of music. I am also inspired by God, to use the gifts He has given me,” Stevens said.
Stevens plans to continue with music at the University of Kansas. She plans to major in music education and go on to become a music teacher.
