“My favorite experience from Squad was being able to judge and see the last performances of Sonic Spotlight and when we go to go to the Lincoln Center and see classical guitarist, Jason Vieaux, play with an orchestra backing him up! Oh, and definitely getting to play hide and seek in the museum.” Sam Castillo, Squad Leader, Cohorts 2022-2023, 2023-2024
