Middleton High School, 11th grade
Caroline is a junior at Middleton High School, and has played oboe for six years.

She performed in the 2022 WSMA State Honors band, has attended UW-Madison Summer Music Clinic, and played for Dr. Stacey Berk (UW-Stevens Point professor) in a Medisky Oboe Studio master class.

Caroline listens to music on a daily basis, and enjoys going on hikes when she can.
Favorite oboe memory: Getting to play for other schools with WYSO and my middle school band. I always loved doing the middle school tours. It was fun getting to play in front of other kids and going to the West Towne food court with my classmates. I also loved the recent WYSO tour I had with the Philharmonia Orchestra. That gave me the chance to really get to know and talk to some of my fellow musicians.
