*** I am conducting an ongoing research project into the anthropology of HONK! Skills include cultural anthropology training, documentary photography, research, interviewing and writing. ***
AA degree in Anthropology from Austin Community College (under Dr. Mary Chipley), 2011. Dean's List, 4.0 GPA.
This foundation is meant to increase my standing for transfer to a 4-year institution that can accommodate my bachelor's degree plans in Anthropology, with an eye towards graduate work in community music / ethnomusicology and the anthropology of HONK!
There's more, of course. The benefit of playing in a renegade street marching band, constantly exploring, and having savants as friends means my consciousness is continually expanding.
I invite deep discussion: any topic, any level. I'm early in my school career, but I'm not stopping anytime soon :)
Know of a great scholarship? Let me know! I maintain a 4.0, so merit-based awards are a great way to keep me going :)

Since ancient times, hosts have been called to recognize the divinity of visitors and ensure guests receive food, drink and shelter, asking nothing in return. Drawing on brass band culture and engaging the public through the medium of alternative community street band performances, HONK! festivals invite musical exploration and celebration for free. Musicians travel at personal expense and, in return for the free public performances they offer, they receive food, drink and shelter from local volunteers. This report explores this unique intersection of modern ethnomusicology and hospitality anthropology, and will describe the organization behind, and experience of, hosting 195 visiting community street band musicians during the inaugural HONK!TX festival. Ultimately, it attempts to answer the question: why do volunteers open their homes to strangers?
