Meet the Students Performing at Peace, Love & Possibilities

Every student at the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts brings curiosity, creativity, and the potential to grow. Through professional-level training and a supportive artistic community, students gain the skills and confidence to explore their talents and pursue their passions.

Caleb Abels — Jazz Drummer
Caleb has developed confidence, discipline, and focus — skills that carry into schoolwork and life. Jazz has strengthened his thinking, learning, and leadership. Most importantly, music has given him the confidence to step onto a stage and believe in himself.

Joe Rozelle — Musician & Band Leader
For Joe, the school is more than a place to study music—it’s a community. He thrives on collaboration and has formed a band that performs local gigs. Guided by exceptional instructors, Joe is learning what it means to meet high expectations, stay disciplined, and show up prepared—on stage and beyond.
