Pierre TF Riggs High School Band Senior Spotlight: Natalie Mohr by band director Mackenzie McKeithan Jensen.
Natalie is a percussionist in the Riggs Band. She has been center snare for the PIERREcussion drumline for most of her time in high school. She has served on the Tri-M board as president, and aided in the group expanding their community outreach. Natalie helped expand the honor bands we attend by auditioning for USD’s honor band, and that encouraged more students to attend through the years!

Favorite band memory: Although it’s hard to choose, my sophomore year of band was my favorite. The percussion section was small that year and we had a lot of fun all the time. One specific memory I have of that year was when Taryn Senger, Kaylee Becker, Sarah Hancock, and I performed an interpretive poem with background noises at a contest and we surprisingly won a superior!
