This performance was part of a variety show put on by Olivet Nazarene University called Mr ONU that I participated in for the 2024 year.

I did my best to edit the audio around to have some more quality to it. This video features footage from the official recording of the event and videos that my Mom and Dad took while watching.

I'm very excited to have this video. While it is nowhere near perfect (no in ears could be used, not a flexible backing track, drums sound muffled, etc) I am very proud of what I put together with my fantastic group. I have been wanting to do live music for a long time, but always put it off thinking I could never make it as 'perfect' as I wanted it to be. However, I realized that I will never be perfect, and neither will any performance I ever do, which is not just the nature of live music but also life itself. I am happy to show my flaws and show how much I have grown, and I am excited to see what I will do and who I will become.

Special thanks to Cole, Tiffany, Makenzie, Emmalee, Sarah, Alex, Olivia, Cooper, McKenna, Kode, Ryan, and Cabot (featured on drums) for helping to make this show a reality. You all were absolutely wonderful to work with and are all incredibly talented. Also a special thanks to Matt Smith for letting us huck glow sticks at the audience (I did not think they would throw them back at us, sorry).
