| Melissa A. has enjoyed being a member of the Delano Clarinet choir for many years. She has won certificates of merit from the Delano Music Memorial Association and has been selected for the Kern County Honor Band playing the contrabass and regular clarinets. Although she likes the contrabass, she says it gets a bit tough sitting on a stool for hours of practice. Melissa comes from a very musical family. Her older brother Michael was the principal chair trumpeter for the Delano High School Band and her younger sister Brenda is the best flute player in her school as well. |
