Senior Celia Baldwin, an energetic band student walks twirling the red tips of her hair, talking about the things she enjoys to do in her free time. Among many different and unique hobbies and collections, she mentions one of her favorites: the kazoo.

“When I was in 6th grade, there was this piece called ‘Kazoo Symphony’ and I started playing it with the other kids; our teacher gave us kazoos. And I just started playing, and I guess it just really stuck,” Baldwin said.

Her collection includes various pieces in bright colors. Baldwin said, “My favorite is the Hawk Nelson one, because it had a special memory with it.”

She continued, “I went to a Hawk Nelson concert a few years ago. They have a song that has a kazoo solo in it. I bought a kazoo at the concert and played along in the audience. Everyone looked at me like, ‘wow…’, but whatever! It was really fun.”

Baldwin says she’s likely to continue to play the kazoo in the future. “Whether it be entertaining little kids or maybe it’s in a symphony piece that’s really silly. I can see myself continuing to play.”
