MANDY WILLIAMS

A first year voice student at The University of Dayton, I have a diverse musical background.  I graduated from Medina High School in Medina Ohio and remember it fondly as the place where I began to develop my musical talents.  I sang soprano in the top choir at Medina for three years, played flute and piccolo in band all four years, playing in the top band of three for the last three years, played oboe in symphonic orchestra for two years, sang in show-choir for a year and took fundament music theory my senior year.  I have also sang in several talent shows in school and church and performed in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" at Weathervane Community Theater in Akron, Ohio.  I draw from all of my past experiences now as I am beginning my collegiate work here in Dayton.  I am currently singing Alto in Chorale and have recently made the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" where I will be singing Soprano as a Apostle's wife and as a soloist.  My hard work and dedication coupled with my love of music will surely get me through the next four years and help me make the best choice of what exactly to do with my passion.  Currently I am considering switching majors to music education, but I am not sure.  Either way, my strong academics (I had a 3.99 in high school) will get me through all the side work that comes with being a music major.  I look forward to expanding my horizons and hope for the best for myself and my fellow music majors as we make our way through college.
