Erinn Large

Erinn Vanessa Large (1996-) attended Bishop Reding from 2010-2014 and was a member of the junior, jazz and concert band. She played 1st/2nd trumpet.

Background Information
Erinn began her musical journey in Grade 8 when her school introduced a music program. She wanted to play alto sax but after her brother-in-law promised her that he could teach her trumpet, she chose trumpet. However, she later learned that her brother-in-law hadn't played in years and didn't know shit about reading music.

After starting Grade 9 at a surprisingly sucky highschool for only 2 months, she decided to attend Bishop Reding instead. And that's all you need to know about that.

Junior Band
Erinn was in Grade 9 when she joined Junior band. She wasn't any great shakes but things looked up later.

Concert Band
Erinn was in Grade 10 (?) when she joined the Concert Band and continued to play in the band until her graduation. She started playing mainly as 3rd trumpet and by Grade 12 was playing a solid combination of 1st and 2nd.

Solos
Erinn had her fair share of solos through the years. Her most significant solos were:


 * Auld Lang Syne (Concert, Trumpet, Christmas Concert 2013)


 * Ruby Tuesday from the Rolling Stone Medley (Concert, Trumpet, Music Night 2014)


 * Shenandoah (Concert, Trumpet, Music Night 2013)

She also came back to perform with the Concert Band for the 2014 Christmas Concert. Since this was last minute notice, she couldn't actually play the 2 songs they played so she stood there pretending to play.

Jazz Band
Erinn played trumpet in the Jazz Band from 2013-2015. She was invited to play in the Jazz band by Alfano which was super cool for her. After graduation, she continued to play in the Jazz Band although she didn't actually attend BR. She did not have any significant solos.

2013
Erinn was first told she would be playing in the Remembrance Day ceremony the same day she was asked to play in the Jazz Band. This day was terrifying because Mr. Alfano had called her out of Mr. Galli's class to talk to him. She thought she was in major trouble but she wasn't. Anyways, she was asked to play at a local old age home with Maddie and at the school ceremony with Maddie again. She could barely play at both because of nerves.

2014
Erinn played in the school ceremony with Jacob Wiseman this year and at a local elementary school with Daniel Meehan.

2014-2015
Erinn continued to work at Tim Hortons to earn money for post secondary. During this time she also worked on her portfolio.
