Though some may think being in two places at once is impossible, they’ll have think again after meeting freshman Brielle Wilton – a girl who really can do it all.

By juggling being both a member of the dance team, as well as participating in marching band, Wilton is contributing nearly all of her time solely to RHS.

In fact, Wilton is the first student that’s been involved in both of these performing arts at RHS at the same time.

Wilton is realizing how difficult juggling the two can be and is now able to unerstands why something like this had never been done before.

“When I first started school I had no idea what I was in for,” Wilton said. “Taking advanced classes and doing both band and dance was hard at first, but I have definitely gotten better at it. And I have gained a lot of confidence doing both, and I just really love what I do.”

Not only is she spending hours upon hours at both team practices throughout the week, Wilton manages to perform in both band and dance routines during halftime.

Her full schedule leaves Wilton with only a maximum of three minutes to change from her band uniform into her dance uniform.

It forces Wilton to run from place to place just so she won’t be late for each appearance.

Despite the stress, Wilton is able to keep a cool head through it all.

“[I take] things day by day and [it’s all about] finding balance and just enjoying life,” Wilton said.

Due to Wilton’s extremely vital part in the marching band, (she plays their baselines and all of the tuba along with Junior Alissa Prosser,) it is very crucial for Wilton to make each of her performances on time.

Fellow band member Alyssa Abbott is supporting Wilton on every step of her journey.

“Having the baseline is vital. She’s an amazing player and we’re lucky to have her,” Abbott said.

According to Abbott, Wilton’s ability to not let each extracurricular interfere with the other while being a full participant in both is incredible and awe inspiring.

“I think that being able to participate in both of those performing arts at the same time is super impressive.

It’s also really cool to see her go out and perform her dance show, and then throw on her uniform and go march with us,” Abbott said. “So it’s super cool that she’s juggling both.”

Despite the difficulties she faces, after dancing for eight years, and being involved in band for five, Wilton was not willing to give up on one of her passions that easily.

Wilton’s high level of stubborn persistence is a large part of what keeps her going through all the difficulties.

“Yes, it has been hard, but I’ve definitely gotten better at it.” Wilton said.

Although it’s been tough for the young multitasker, she has had a good experience as a participating member of both teams is hoping to be on both teams once again next year.

“I’ve always been very versatile, and I’ve always had a lot of interests, and I don’t think that I would be able to choose one because I aspire to do so many great things in my life, and I think that band and dance is just the start of it.” Wilton said.
