April Richmond

April Richmond, from Cleveland, Tennessee, is a music business and music education major. Aprils says she was drawn to Lee because “the campus felt like home.” She is a member of the university’s Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Small Jazz Ensemble, The Outpost, and Creation Care Club. She has also been a teaching assistant for the class Understanding Contemporary Society, as well as working as a student worker for the Office of Student Development. She says that all of this is preparing her for life after graduation, where she plans to either become a high school band director or work as a marketing executive for artist management.
