UNCBAA is spotlighting our members! We ask their favorite band memories, their role in the band and what they are doing today. Today, we hear from Maverick Hart from the Class of 2018.
Q: What years were you in band?
I was a member of the Marching Tar Heels from 2014-2018.
Q: What instrument did you play?
I am a trumpet (AYEEEE!) player and proud former section captain.
Q: What are you up to now?
I currently serve as Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Carolina. I found my perfect excuse to stick around Chapel Hill, doing work that is incredibly fulfilling to me, and giving back to an institution that has given me so much.
Q: How did UNC Bands prepare you for what you are currently doing?
Q: What is your favorite UNC Bands memory?
From April 4, 2016 to April 3, 2017, I truly believe I had a front row seat to the most magical year in Carolina Basketball history. Sitting courtside at the 2017 National Championship, watching the Tar Heels cut down the nets, and celebrating on the championship stage with some of my dearest friends is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. The jury is still out, but I am a little afraid I peaked that night.
Q: What is a fun fact about yourself?
Did you know that I was Luke Maye’s Orientation Leader at Carolina? Or that Roy Williams went to my high school and that his basketball coach was my driver’s ed teacher? If you ever spent more than 30 seconds around me, you likely heard me share those already. Sorry for the clutter. -MH
