Avery PambianchiI really like to play the trumpet in addition to programming and everything I do here on the Enderbots. I've always loved the trumpet and I'm striving to be the best that I can at classical and jazz trumpet. I really like improvisation on the trumpet because you're not playing anything on a page, you're just making it up as you go. I sometimes participate in my school’s pit for musical. In addition to playing the trumpet, I am very interested in media and production. I operate our team's social media accounts spanning across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. I produce our team's video's and show off what our team does through social media.
