INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY JACOB BARNWELL
Larissa Wilming, daughter of Steve and Jill Wilming, of Peosta, is currently a senior at Western Dubuque High School. Larissa has been involved in band for all four years of high school, jazz band for three years, and show band for two years. She has also participated in a number of honor bands around the area: WAMAC Honor Band, University of Iowa Honor Band, NEIBA Honor Band, and Wartburg Honor Band. Larissa has also participated in All-State auditions all four years of high school and earned second alternate in her sophomore year. All of her hard work has paid off, and this year she has earned a spot as drum major for the marching band at WDHS. As one can see in her picture above, Larissa’s primary instrument is the clarinet, but she also plays piano and saxophone. Outside of WDHS, Larissa is involved in various music organizations: the Tri-State clarinet choir, the Tri-State wind symphony, and the Dubuque Youth Symphony. Outside of school and music, Larissa enjoys listening to music any chance she gets, drawing, painting, helping out with clubs she is involved in at school, spending time with family and friends, and being involved in as many activities as possible. Some of her activities include NHS, Tri-M, Art Club, Show Band, and Model United Nations. When asked what she enjoys most about the arts program at WDHS, she replied, “I love the passion all of the teachers put into their work every day. They pass it on to all of us and make the arts an exciting learning experience. They give us a chance at opportunities we couldn’t experience anywhere else.”
