What band meant to Aaron: |
"Integrity, service, and excellence...all three traits take constant practice. They are also the core values on which my foundation is based. I first learned how to practice these traits in my daily life while in the Mustang Band. Since my high school days, much has changed. I have a great deal of responsibility, an fulfilling career, and an amazing wife. I’ll never forget that the road to my current life started on a hot summer’s morning learning how to mark time."
