Have you ever thought playing an instrument would be cool? Leah LaSota is a student in band. She plays in the percussion section in band, and she’s in the spotlight now…

Q: Have you done any events this year with your band class, where, and when?

A: Yes I have. We went and played at the parade at village elementary. This was Tuesday November 25, 2025.

Q: What is your favorite thing about playing in the percussion section?

A: My favorite thing about playing in the percussion section is that I get to play multiple instruments.

Q: If you could play any instrument in a band what would it be and why?

A: If I were to play any other instrument it would probably be the clarinet because I like the sound of it.

This isn’t Leah’s first rodeo in band class, and it sure won’t be her last. If you know a student around you that plays an instrument, make sure to ask them about how long they’ve played, it will surely blow your mind! Make sure to come back next week for the new outstanding student in the spotlight.
