Princeton Brass Ensemble: Current Members

Current Members

	Reena Glaser '14 President Hi, my name is Reena Glaser! I play the euphonium, and I am a junior in the psychology department with certificates in neuroscience, theater, and gender and sexuality studies. I am also involved with the Princeton Triangle Club, BAC:Drama, the Women's Mentorship Program, and Orange Key Tour Guides. My fun fact is that I love columns!
	Noah Apthorpe '14 Vice President Hi, I'm Noah Apthorpe and I play the trombone. I am majoring in Computer Science and am getting a certificate in Engineering Biology. I am also a member of the Wind Ensemble, the Fencing Club, and the Orange Key Guide Service. I like playing in the Brass Ensemble because of the fun music and camaraderie.
	Luke Paulsen '14 Music Director I am a prospective Economics major from Minneapolis, MN. I play euphonium in the Brass Ensemble and am also a member of the Jazz and Wind Ensembles. I love the chance Brass Ensemble gives me to make music as part of a smaller group. Besides playing my instrument and arranging music, I am involved in math club, bridge club, and Christian fellowships on campus.
	Jieming Liu '14 Treasurer Hi, I'm Jieming Liu. I am declared as an ORFE major and I plan on getting certificates in finance, applications of computing, and engineering and management systems. I am also a member of the Princeton University Wind Ensemble. I play tuba and I love the Brass Ensemble because it features all of the low brass instruments.
	Alice Zhou '14 Membership Chair Hi, I'm Alice, and I play the trombone in the Brass Ensemble. I am an Economics major and plan to get certificates in Finance and Environmental Studies. My fun fact is that my favorite animal is the blobfish.
	Brandon Blau '14 Percussionist Brandon is the group's percussion section leader, and for some reason didn't seem to think he needed to write a bio for himself. Maybe it's because percussion isn't a brass instrument.
	Natalie Weires '14 Webmaster Hello there! I'm Natalie, I play the trumpet and among the things I like are alphabetizing things, books, bright colors, buttons, epiphanies, friends, hot chocolate, kittens, learning new things, linguistics (but not learning languages), math, modular origami, movie soundtracks, muffins, musicals, people that make me laugh, parenthetical statements (especially (multiply) nested ones), pasta, puns, riddles, science, sight-reading music, strawberries, swimming, rain (when it's warm out), writing (and receiving) letters, and of course, Brass Ensemble.
	Sophie Giguere '15 Event Coordinator My name is Sophie Giguere, and I'm in the class of 2015. My prospective major is Molecular Biology, and I play the fabulous French horn. I have the guilty secret that I've never seen the movie Titanic.
	Alex Jaffe '14 Social Chair Alex didn't write a bio, believing that threats of other people writing his for him to be empty. However, this is not the case, as is now clear. He plays the French Horn, and wears copious amounts of orange.
	Riley Fitzgerald '16 I’m Riley Fitzgerald, a freshman and trombonist from Phoenix, Arizona. Aside from playing in the Princeton Brass Ensemble, I play with the Princeton University Orchestra and the Princeton University Band, and I enjoy arranging and composing music. I plan on majoring in mechanical engineering with certificates in robotics and intelligent systems and music performance.
