She started playing the flute in 4th grade and began playing piccolo in band in middle school. Once in high school, she joined the marching band playing piccolo, became flute section leader, and eventually drum major. She was involved in every instrumental group that Wethersfield High School had to offer where she played piano, flute, piccolo and bassoon. She also started a small pep band to play at the boy's and girl's basketball games. She played on the tennis team for two years and continued to dance through high school, both on the high school dance team and in ballet and pointe classes outside of school. Jenn is absolutely in love with the UCMB and can't wait for the new season to start. She became a brother of Kappa Kappa Psi in Spring 09, and is looking forwards to helping that band that has given her so much
