Pierre TF Riggs High School Band Senior Spotlight: William Kessler by band director Mackenzie McKeithan Jensen.
Will has played trombone for the Riggs Band, Riggs Jazz Bands, and Emerald Regiment for four years. He was also a member of the Bye Bye Birdie pit band, has been a reoccurring member of the Macy’s Great American Marching Band, and frequents honor bands.
Family:
Colette (mom), Ernie (dad), Mariah (sister)
I’m going to SDSU to major in Political Science and minor in music and maybe accounting.
My favorite band memories are the car trips to honor bands and auditions. Nothing like being stuck in a box with my fellow band mates for a few hours to beat Mrs. McKeithan at sudoku.
