Playing his Way to the Top!
The Gregg Schindler State Farm Club Member of the month for February, 2022 Titus Janshon, a senior at J.W. Mitchell High School, is this month’s Gregg Schindler Club Member of the Month for his participation in the Marching Mustangs.

Janshon plays multiple instruments, including the baritone saxophone, the piano, bassoon, viola, and double bass. “Bassoon is my favorite because it was my very first instrument that was chosen for me in sixth grade, and I’ve stuck with it ever since. It’s one of the most complicated instruments in the band, and I love it for that,” Janshon said. On top of his dedication to the band, Janshon currently takes five Advanced Placement (AP) courses, is a member of Mu Alpha Theta, and is the Parliamentarian for the Mitchell chapter of National Honor Society (NHS). “I mostly just record NHS members’ requirements for the club, tracking meetings, tracking the requirements for committee hours, and service hours as well.

decide. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, University of South Florida, and Florida Institute of Technology are my best choices right now. I am hoping that I can [continue band in college] but it all depends on which college I go to. If the college I go to has a band, I will definitely join it,” Janshon said. Mr. Ryan Harring, the Director of Bands and Orchestra for JWMHS recommended Janshon
