Chloe Patrick, 2016, B.A. Music I graduated from CSU with a degree in music and a minor in business administration. I am currently the customer service representative at Squires Insurance Solutions LLC, and obtained my Property and Casualty Producer license earlier this year. However, music is my passion; it always has been, and always will be. Up until recently, playing in ensembles was a daily part of my schedule, and I greatly miss it. I am currently in the process of auditioning for the Army bands, which would allow me to live out my dream of living in the world of music and serving my country in the process. This goal was strengthened when I was able to play with the Alumni Marching Band at the CSU Homecoming game.  It has increased my desire to play, and I look forward to the years to come!

Gregory Marxen, 2016, B.A. Music After graduating from CSU, I became a substitute music teacher for Poudre School District before finding my job at Aspen View Academy K-8 Charter School in Castle Rock, Colorado. I teach kindergarten through third grade music, in addition to preschool music once a week. I love my job, and have a tremendous enjoyment of music and a passion for my career. After gaining more experience in the field, I plan to go back to school to get a master’s degree and D.M.A. in music education. In my free time, I like watching movies and documentaries, going to the gym, and reading! I also perform in two ensembles: 3rd cornet in the Rocky Mountain Brassworks, and principal horn in the Aurora Symphony.
