Offstage! - February 2011

Master Sgt. Julianna Arnold, a clarinetist in the Concert Band, maintains a garden year-round. Last year Sergeant Arnold grew everything from cucumbers, peppers, beans and tomatillos, to squash, blueberries and raspberries. When asked how she has become such a successful gardener, Arnold credits her musical background, saying, “I think in many respects being a musician has helped me to be a patient gardener. Just like musicians have to spend many hours practicing and rehearsing before the final product can be revealed to an audience, tending to a garden takes a lot of patience and time devoted to nurturing a plant to fruition.”
