kamarr chatman
Band President
Hey! I’m a 12th grader, and I absolutely love playing the tuba. It’s my passion, and I’m constantly practicing to improve my skills. This year, I get to wear two awesome hats—Band President AND Tuba Section Leader—so yes, I lead and I bring the boom. Fun fact: I actually started on the Bassoon (fancy, right?) and played it all the way through 9th grade before switching it up. I’ve loved every step of the journey—from awkward beginner notes to running the show with my section. After high school, I’m off to college with big plans to become a dentist —because helping people and spreading smiles is kind of my thing.
