Practice, performing, concerts- the works. In these eight years (all throughout middle and high school) Barker has been able to attend class physically with her peers, receiving the usual high school band experience.
She’s also been playing trumpet since 5th grade, dedicating herself to these musical passions for nearly eight years now.
As a drum major for the marching band, Barker is charged with leading the highest level of concert band in the school. Vanden High School Senior Jaideelee Barker, who’s drum major for the marching band and a trumpet player within the wind ensemble. But, according to senior drum major and trumpet player Jaidelee Barker, it’s clear that this new form of class collaboration is less of a ‘sound vacuum nightmare’ and more of an opportunity to refine their skills in ways they never could have imagined before 2020. While it may seem like an obvious turn of events, the concept of performing and practicing music over a video chat with 20 to 30 other people sounds more like a musician’s nightmare, not a suitable classroom environment. With this comes the newest form of high school musical programs- the requirement to play over Google Meet and Zoom. Unsurprisingly, schools have been transferred to a completely new campus, one that’s entirely online.
