Hey all! My name is Hanna Lighthall and I am a net in the class of 2027! You will often see me rocking out and dancing to "Everybody's Everything", "Everytime we Touch", "Basin Street Blues", and "Freebird"! From playing in Madison Square Garden, to marching through the Ithaca Commons -- I love the band, and I will forever be grateful for the experiences that I have had and memories that I have made :)
