Hi, all! My name is Krystal Munoz and I am a senior Music Education major. My hobbies are singing, listening to music, and shopping!

I joined band in the 6th grade, and it has been a big part of my life ever since.

I'm a senior Music Education major here at WTAMU, where I primarily play euphonium and also very much enjoy Clarinet as my secondary (perhaps even more than my primary... But don't tell anyone I said that!)
I've been part of the WTAMU concert band, marching band, collegiate choir, brass choir, Tuba-Euph ensemble, Brass Choir, and Renaissance consort! Next year I plan to add the Symphony to that list where I will play Bass! As with everyone, I've had my rough times with school, but no matter what WT will always be the closest university to my heart.
The ladies in this chapter have captivated my soul, and I love them each to the end of time.
With my sisters, I most certainly am best.
