Percussion
Because of her extensive experience with piano, Natalie Collier decided to join the band and become a percussionist. After playing for two years, she joined the North Raleigh Christian Academy Marching Band in sixth grade. She usually specialized in mallet percussion, but she was always required to play various other percussion instruments. Natalie was recognized as the "Best Middle School Percussionist" for three years in a row.
