Andrew says playing with big band “is never the same.  Everyday is different and every time you play a song something new is thrown in there!” Andrew describes himself as an easy going guy who enjoys relaxing and hanging out with friends.  “I love music and take so much from it.”  Andrew thanks his grandfather for his love of jazz that he passed on to him. 

Andrew’s advice to a younger musicians just starting out: “I have two words of advice.  The first is to practice! You cannot get better without ample practice, and if you have any dreams of success practice is your key.  Lastly, make sure you love what you do.  Enjoy your instrument!”  “I love this band and will miss it greatly when I move to Spokane Washington to go to college.  But fans, watch for Andrew during the summer and holidays when he comes home and takes up his chair with the Jazz Ensemble again.
