       Herricks Highlander November Article: Music Student of the Month
       Rebecca Schiffman
       Every month a student who shows excellence and improvement in
       each subject is rewarded the honor of being Student of the
       Month. Relating to music, this great honor was given to a most
       deserving student; Christine Bunyon.
       A loyal member of concert band, Christine was placed in Wind
       Ensemble just this year. She has also been accepted into the
       Blue Jazz Band this year as well. Christine began her music
       career playing the French horn, later switching to the trumpet.
       She has played in NYSSMA for many years and has always received
       high markings.
       Despite her obvious need to take a music class in middle
       school, Christine began to love her band classes, taking on new
       adventures such as the Orchestra Pit Band for shows in middle
       school and later on, becoming a regular at Pep Band games and
       High School Pit Band. When speaking of band, Christine says that
       it is her most favorite period of the day because it is like a
       break from all the homework, teachers, and essays.
       Christine’s love for the trumpet began when she listened to
       what the instrument sounded like. Listening to trumpet solos and
       concert songs, her favorite part was the trumpet solo at the
       end; she describes it as “trumpet heaven”. When asked if she
       will continue with the trumpet through college and beyond, she
       answered, “I definitely want to play in college. I am even
       thinking in minoring in some music related field.” And although
       she may not become a professional musician, the trumpet and
       music will always be a favorite in her heart.
