I have always wanted to play the tuba. I'd watch parades and see the big brass horns oompa doompa down the street. So come fifth grade I played trumpet (hey, it's cheaper). I was recruited for tuba in the seventh grade and marched it in the Beechwood HS band for many years (check out their page). Voted with the superlative of most musical senior year in high school, I base my sucess on encouragement from family.
In life, I find the best way to succeed is through unity. The University of Dayton is assiting myself and many others like myself to find this unity and lead us to our common goal: success.

Listen to Nick Boerger, accompanied by Gail Bichmeir, perform part of a transcription of Ravel's "Pavane" (35 sec., 302K .au) on March 14, 1997 in Sears Recital Hall.
