Dominic is currently Editor-in-Chief in his third year working for The Roundup, having served previously as a Reporter and Junior Associate Editor. He is President, Brass Captain, and Low Brass Lieutenant of the Jesuit-Ursuline Ranger Band, a tenor trombone.

Snatching his Jesuit Crew tank top and shorts from his closet, he races out of the house, grabbing a Clif Bar on the way. He jumps into his...
Most concert bands practice months to put on a performance, but the Texas Private School Music Educators' Association (TPSMEA) All-State Band is not like most bands. It's a collection of some of the state's most talented high school musicians, and it lasts only a short 3 days.
