City mulls extending restricted parking zone

LEADER BAND of the

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Riverside’s inspirational Wagner gets the call to lead statewide group bound for Europe

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Auburn Riverside High School band director Meghan Wagner was helping recruit students for the Washington Ambassadors of Music band last April.

So when Central Washington University’s director of jazz studies, Chris Bruya, called that spring day, Wagner assumed he wanted to talk about that. After all, Bruya is WAM’s director.

But Bruya had another idea – he asked Wagner to lead WAM this year.

“They were looking for a new conductor,” Wagner said. “He has heard my band program here at Riverside, and he has judged our groups here before at different festivals and knows we’re really good.”

Wagner’s 40-member wind ensemble at Auburn Riverside has performed at events throughout the country, including Carnegie Hall in 2014, and even in Vancouver, British Columbia. But the new role means Wagner gets to take about 90 students – seven from Auburn Riverside – overseas. The band will

Meghan Wagner, an award-winning music educator, conducts practice for her Auburn Riverside High School band this week. She will lead the Washington Ambassadors of Music band, which includes about 100 high school students from throughout the state, this year. The band will rehearse at the beginning of the summer and then travel to Europe in July. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter rehearse for three days at the beginning of the summer and then travel in July to Europe for three weeks. It will perform at outdoor venues in England, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein.

Junior Erin McGranaghan, who plays the English horn and oboe in wind ensemble, is among the Auburn Riverside

students who’ll make that trip.

“Mrs. Wagner is a wonderful band director,” she said. “She gets so many opportunities for her bands that she directs. Now she’s going to be conducting and leading all of these people. It makes me really proud of my school’s band program.” [ more WAGNER page 14 ]

New chamber director wants to extend reach

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

It takes up a small but weighty spot on Julia Jordan’s desk.

And at just the merest reference to that plastic Seattle Seahawks helmet

resting there, the new director of the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce practically bolts from her chair with contagious enthusiasm.

Making it clear that even though Jordan’s a California girl, the blood

in her veins runs Seahawks blue.

“I’m a longtime fan,” Jordan said.

“It’s why my husband married me. I told him I loved the Seahawks, and at first he didn’t believe me.

One-car driveways, no driveways, tiny lots, no lots.

Fact is, many Auburn residents live, work or study in places where off-street parking is slim to none.

It was with those folks in mind that the City Council sat down at City Hall on Monday to talk about extending Auburn’s existing restricted parking zone to areas beyond the D Street Northwest neighborhood to which the city code now confines it.

That is, the council hashed out proposed code revisions that would remove language specific to D Street Northwest and allow the City engineer to manage and determine other places where this parking option could be used.

Ingrid Gaub, assistant director of engineering for the City of Auburn, noted that the original code was implemented in 2009 to address parking issues the City was having along A Street Northwest between Main and Third Street Northwest, where the properties were and are a mixture of school, residential and commercial uses.

Wales goes to work as new deputy mayor

LOCAL

BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

BACKUS APPOINTED TO SOUND TRANSIT BOARD King County Executive Dow Constantine recently appointed Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus to the Sound Transit Board of Directors.

Backus will serve a two-year term. “Having strong local board representation from South King County is crucial as we work to extend light rail south to Federal Way and Tacoma, and Mayor Backus has proven herself to be a solid advocate for transit for the people of the region,” Constantine said.

[ PARKING from page 1 ] “There were a lot of needs for different parking in that area, and the City wanted to implement restricted parking there, but that impacted the residential users in that area who don’t have off-street parking readily available to them,” Gaub explained.

What the City came up with back then was a restricted parking zone that allowed people to park on the street between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. with a parking

Ariana Davis, a grocery worker from Auburn, stands front and center with other workers, union members, faith leaders and others who represent a coalition that seeks to raise the state’s minimum wage and expand paid sick leave. Davis officially filed the citizen initiative for the 2016 ballot at the Secretary of State’s Office in Olympia on Monday. “Passing paid sick leave and raising the minimum wage would change my life and the lives of thousands of workers like me,” Davis said. “It would make us healthier and more able to take care of our families and customers.”

Advocates have until early July to submit roughly 250,000 valid signatures. The Raise Up Washington campaign, formed to support the initiative, plans to launch an ambitious, grass-roots signature drive.

permit and for the City to manage the parking program for that location. This revision allowed property owners along a street to park up to three vehicles and one visitor on their street by using the permit and for the City to sign the street as “Permit Parking Only”.

Considering other parking restrictions in the downtown in 2016, Gaub said, the way the abovereferenced section of the code was written limits the City’s ability now to apply

that restricted parking to other areas.

In the downtown area under Auburn’s parking management plan, the City is putting in place threehour parking throughout the downtown, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What that means, especially for older residential areas that don’t necessarily have

driveways or off-street parking, is that they have to move their cars every three hours at night.

Councilman Rich Wagner, a member of the Council in 2009, recalled that the council’s intent was to try the restricted zone out for a while in the one area.

“Did it work,” Wagner asked Gaub?

While Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus is ill and resting at home this week, she and newlyminted Deputy Mayor Largo Wales have been in regular contact by email.

In her first days at the post, the energetic Wales has split her time work- Wales ing career fairs for the middle schools in the mornings and afternoons and attending her regularlyassigned City meetings in the evenings.

In between, she has represented Backus by welcoming Australian exchange students to the city, talked Pierce County issues with that county’s small cities and towns and discussed grant possibilities with the “It has worked,” Gaub replied. “It has not been a significant administrative burden at this point in time. Depending on how many additional areas the City decides to add over time, that may change. …

lead judge for King County District Court in Auburn.

But the project that has engaged most of her considerable energy and attention is the Junior City Council.

Wales said her hope is to see the nine-student panel expand, so that all middle schools, high schools or home schools are represented no longer by one student but by two students.

“If there’s two representatives for each school they can partner up, and that will make it easier to come up with activities and things to do when they have a colleague,” Wales said.

As a City employee put it: “Largo’s been at the schools recruiting like crazy.” [ more WALES page 8 ]

Right now, it’s a very simple administration.”

Gaub noted that what the City is contemplating at this time is a code revision only; no additional locations have been proposed beyond D Street Northwest.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Support a levy built for learning On Feb. 9, Auburn School District voters will be asked to support a renewal of the Educational Program and Operations Replacement Levy for the district for the next four years.

We urge you to vote yes to support our students and schools. This funding provides critical, basic instructional program services and supports across the district.

The ballot issue before voters is not for a new tax but represents a renewal of the levy passed overwhelmingly by education supporters four years ago.

The district continues to be an effective and responsible steward of our tax revenue. Refinancing bonds has saved monies and the new high school project is coming in under budget and on schedule for completion. Tax rates will not change with passage of the levy.

Levies are for learning. The educational programming and activities supported by the levy are vital, core educational services impacting students in every school. Currently, 21 percent of the district’s general fund budget comes from educational program and operations levy funding. Levy revenue can only be used to support instruction and programming support.

Where does your levy dollar go?

• 42 percent: educational programs (includes regular and special education, AP, honors, ELL, career and technical education) • 17 percent: educational operations (curriculum, textbooks, classroom equipment, supplies and training) • 14 percent: maintenance and custodial (utilities, building upkeep, grounds care, custodial service, printing) • 13 percent: athletics and activities – funded 100 percent by the levy dollars (coaches, advisors, equipment, instruments) • 13 percent: special education (health services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, staff, curriculum) • 1 percent: transportation (operations of buses, fuel, maintenance, activities and special transportation) [ more LEVY page 7 ]

Freedom Foundation is off base with attacks I read with interest the Dec. 17 guest editorial from the Freedom Foundation accusing three respected Republican state senators of a “thinly veiled attempt” to unfairly support working people by opposing a case now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Freedom Foundation is off base. It is the height of hypocrisy for them to attack Sens. Pam Roach, Don Benton and Mark Miloscia for supporting the ability of working people to join together with others to win better wages and benefits that can sustain their families – and win improvements on the job to make their work more effective.

Roach, Benton and Miloscia together have advocated for responsible budgets, and government accountability, efficiency and reform. True

Boeing has invested billions updating its commercial fleet to make it more fuel efficient, environmentally friendly, comfortable and less costly to operate and maintain. A large part of the funding for the research and development comes from 737 sales. Since it came on line in 1966, it has been the largest contributor to the company’s cash flow and profits.

www.auburn-reporter.com public sector unions ensure we attract and keep good workers to serve the public.

As America’s economy has swung out of balance, the Freedom Foundation instead wants to outsource jobs overseas and oppose reasonable pay raises for public servants like firefighters, police and nurses.

The Freedom Foundation instead should embrace the true conservative values of the three senators who supported public servants before the Supreme Court. As the senators said when they joined other Republicans in signing the “amicus� brief, it’s about “effective and efficient state government services through the work of public employees.�

– Sue Henricksen

Ensure success, support the levy As a former speech and debate coach, baseball coach and 25-year teacher in the Auburn Schools I strongly support the levy.

Without activities and athletics many students would not be successful in their school years.

Each year I had students who were successful in school due to their training in activities and athletics that gave them structure, discipline, leadership skills and many other skills that they were able to use in all of their classes and life. Please support the programs that make our kids successful.

Being able to spend time with each student is so impor-

tant and providing vital educational programming including career and technical education; gifted, honors and Advanced Placement programs, and English Language Learners are top priorities if Auburn’s schools are to succeed in helping students’ achieve their highest potential.

Support the kids.

– Mike Burton

Levy is vital to schools, and us Jeanne Herold says she can’t afford to vote yes for schools (Jan. 8, Auburn Reporter). We say she can’t afford not to.

We need to keep our schools strong. Some people, like us, who do not now have family members of school age, think that they don’t have to support levies anymore.

That’s not true. Everyone needs to take the time to vote yes on the Feb. 9 levy.

Here’s why. Auburn now has an excellent school program. Having excellent schools keeps home prices up and crime rates down.

Excellent schools have lower dropout rates. Those without a high school diploma often end up needing welfare and low income benefits most of their lives. Some also turn to crime.

Paying for excellent schools is much cheaper than paying for more programs to help the poor and to fight crime.

Failing this levy will mean that many teachers and other school employees will face losing their jobs. Since the number of students in Auburn schools continues to rise, a failed levy will mean bigger

class sizes and less individual help for students who need it.

This levy also supports sports and other activities that help kids grow and keep many out of trouble.

This levy replaces the one we passed last time, so school taxes will not go up. Herold says school taxes are the majority of her property tax bill. We looked at our tax statement, and our portion for schools was far less than half of our bill.

Some people, especially older homeowners like us, say they can’t afford to support schools. Again, we say we can’t afford not to.

Bring back levity to blotter I am so disappointed.

My family is disappointed.

We have enjoyed the levity of the otherwise mundane reporting of local infractions and crime printed in your publication.

Reading the police blotter has entertained us around the kitchen table, lifting our spirits, individually as well as collectively.

I believe there is real value to shining a slightly humorous light on a police force that regrettably is often feared.

Frankly, I applaud the police for enjoying the humor and, at least for me and my family, think it helped to make the cops seem just a bit more human.

I hope you will consider the value of the previous format and reinstate it.

Midway and Houston’s Hobby.

Boeing reports the low-cost carriers will need more than 10,000 new singleaisle airplanes in the next 15 years. The best news for Boeing is the 737 MAX fits perfectly in that niche.

The benefit for Washington is the company is ramping up its 737 production at the Renton plant. It expects to go from 42 planes per month to 52 in 2018.

Boeing needs 737 profits to help underwrite the transition to its new family of long-range 777X jets by 2020.

The Seattle Times reported Boeing must sell 40 to 60 current-model 777s each year to maintain production and avoid layoffs at the Paine Field factory.

The bad news is Boeing sold just 38 last year, down from 63 in 2014.

In our state, Boeing accounts for over 160,000 direct and indirect jobs and has nearly 2,000 suppliers. It purchased $5.7 billion in goods and services and in 2014 gave nearly $54 million in charitable contributions.

Thankfully, Boeing’s growth is strong and the bulk of its commercial airplanes are assembled in the Puget Sound region. However, the key to keeping its production here is also tied to costs.

[ BRUNELL from page 5 ] Aircraft manufacturers project the world’s airlines will require 36,770 new planes by 2033. The market value is $5.2 trillion.

The strongest growth is in the singleaisle market where three out of four new aircraft are anticipated. That’s where Boeing and Airbus really bump heads.

It is also attracting aerospace companies from Japan, Russia, Canada, Brazil and China.

Currently, China poses the greatest threat to Boeing and Airbus.

In November, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) rolled out its first C919, which is scheduled to begin test flights this year. It seats between 130 and 200, which is the sweet spot for Boeing and Airbus.

The advantage of the C919 is the purchase price. China National Radio reported it could be 30 percent cheaper.

COMAC already has 534 orders from 21 airlines.

Costs are important, particularly for low-cost airlines in the high growth Southeast Asian market.

In China, low-cost flights are currently increasing by nearly 25 percent annually.

Southwest Airlines, which is an all 737 fleet, is the prototype for low cost carriers.

It offers no frills, such as first-class seating, relies on direct internet sales, and operates from lower cost airports such as Chicago’s

[ LEVY from page 5 ] The state Legislature is back in session. The impact of the McCleary decision is far from certain for schools around the state, including Auburn. The Legislature has proven time and again that it will delay and defer taking action to support our schools.

on local tax collection to provide vital services.

On behalf of all of our committee volunteers, friends of education, district alumni and committee supporters, we urge you to join us in voting yes by Feb. 9. Help us support our students and continue the successes the district has been building.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been recruiting at Cascade and Rainier and Mt. Baker middle schools, and at Auburn High School for junior council.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone out this last week and met with principals and ASB advisers at a number of our schools," Wales said.

"Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to send our kids to Washington D.C. for workshops with The National League of Cities.

Florence Ermina Pullen turned 100 on Jan. 4. Family and friends threw her a party last Saturday.

DOC TALK

Q. A friend of mine at work was diagnosed with breast cancer. How do I better understand my risk?

A. Risk assessment is a natural concern to women, especially since breast cancer is being talked about much more openly today than in the ’70s or ’80s.

You never seemed to hear about a neighbor, colleague or friend developing it, but now it seems commonplace.

The key, however, is not only to find out your risk but what to do with that information.

There are several online tools that are very easy to use on any home computer. One is at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and can be accessed here: www. cancer.gov/bcrisktool/.

One of the more widely accepted models by most of the major medical centers is the Tyrer Cuzick risk calculator because it is one of the most comprehensive. This site requires you to download the tool, and it only works on Windowsbased operating systems: www. ems-trials.org/riskevaluator/ Normal risk is less than 15

percent, intermediate risk is between 15 and 20 percent, and high risk is 20 percent or more.

For women at high risk, the American Cancer Society and many other reputable medical organizations recommend adjunct screening with an annual breast MRI. For women at intermediate risk, especially for those with dense breast tissue, many full service regional breast centers offer adjunct screening with whole breast ultrasound.

Research is beginning to substantiate the notion that this can be a useful added tool for women who want additional peace of mind over mammography.

It is most important to understand that 75 percent of women who get breast cancer have no risk factors at all, so please remember, friends don’t let friends skip mammograms.

LIONS, RAVENS CONTINUE TORRID PACE Taylor Flores scored a game-high 19 points as Auburn Mountainview won its seventh consecutive game, 47-38, Tuesday night against Enumclaw in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest.

The Lions (10-2 overall, 6-1 league) play at 5:45 tonight at Auburn.

Also, Auburn Riverside remained undefeated with a 59-11 win Tuesday against Auburn. No other details from the game were available. The Ravens (13-0, 7-0) play at 7 tonight at Sumner.

Auburn celebrates milestone win against Ravens

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

There was a loud roar long before Auburn boys basketball coach Ryan Hansen emerged from the locker room.

In a different outfit.

“They dumped water on me and tackled me in there,” said Hansen, who earned his 200th career win with a 65-52 victory Tuesday night in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest at Auburn Riverside. “I don’t normally come out changed, but I was soaking wet.”

Hansen, who wore a gray polo and khaki pants during the game, emerged in a white fleece sweatshirt, black workout pants and socks.

“I’m sure I look really good right now,” he said with a laugh.

Not that Hansen is complaining.

“I’m glad it wasn’t Gatorade,” Hansen said. “I can handle water.”

It was the culmination of a night of fun for the Trojans, who maintained a double-figure lead throughout most of the game.

Auburn (8-5 overall, 3-4 league) had not enjoyed much of that in the days proceeding as the Trojans lost their first two games since New Year’s Day, including a setback against last-place Bonney Lake.

“We just talked about getting back to the basics, playing with a lot of joy and having fun,” Hansen said.

He also made an adjustment, moving 6-foot-4 senior wing Devan Minch into the starting lineup

in place of 6-foot sophomore guard Pa’Treon Lee. Hansen said he made the change because Minch provides his smaller squad – Minch is the second tallest player on the team – with more size to address Auburn’s rebounding issues. Hansen, who noted that he likes Lee’s ability to come off the bench and provide offense, said he anticipates sticking with the lineup change.

Minch, who scored a game-high 18 points, provided a significant boost during the fourth quarter on the offensive end, too. With seven minutes remaining, junior guard Julian Gulchuk split a pair of free throws to reduce the Ravens’ deficit to 51-42. But that is as close as Auburn Riverside (8-5, 4-3) would get. That is because the Trojans went on a run behind Minch, who hit a jumper and then stole the ball and scored on a layup. That gave the Trojans a 56-42 lead with 5:11 remaining.

Senior guards Tyler Pray (13) and Malik Williams (10) also scored in double figures for Auburn.

“In games like this, you want to depend on your seniors,” Hansen said. “They did a great job stepping up for us.”

That, Williams said, is a byproduct of several Trojans having played together for many years. Ten of 13 players listed on Auburn’s roster are seniors.

“We just have great chemistry and we’re unselfish,” Williams said.

“We try and pass the ball around and get everyone touches.”

Auburn guard Tyler Pray, who finished with 13 points, was one of three Trojans seniors to score in double figures in a 65-52 win Tuesday night at Auburn Riverside in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest. RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter With seven regular season games left to go, both teams are in the league’s playoff picture. Auburn is in

fifth place, while the Ravens are in [ more HOOPS page 13 ]

Auburn schools help resurrect North Puget Sound League

BY CHRIS CHANCELLOR cchancellor@auburn-reporter.com

Several south King County schools are heading north.

At least in a figurative sense.

Auburn School District athletic director Rob Swaim said last Friday that the three high schools he oversees will “opt up” to Class 4A and resurrect the North Puget Sound League during the 2016-17 school year.

The 14-team league, which included Auburn High in its previous incarnation before disbanding in 1990, will include all of the Kent and Federal Way public high schools along with Kennedy Catholic, Enumclaw, Hazen, Mount

[ HOOPS from page 12 ] third. The top six teams in SPSL 3A advance to the postseason. Both programs host teams tonight, with Auburn Riverside playing Sumner at 7 and the Trojans tipping

Rainier and Tahoma. Those schools, with the exception of Hazen and Kennedy Catholic, both of whom compete in Seamount 3A, are members of the South Puget Sound League.

All three Auburn high schools have competed together in SPSL 3A since 2014, and Swaim said a top priority was to keep those programs in the same league.

The next consideration, he said, was to minimize instructional time lost through travel and transportation expenses.

With the potential demise of both the 3A and 4A divisions of the Narrows League – all five Tacoma public high schools have applied for admission to the SPSL – South King County programs could have faced regular trips to Pierce County – and beyond.

Swaim said when the Washington Interscholas-

tic Activities Association released preliminary enrollment numbers and those school officials began to announce their intentions, local athletic directors began having discussions, too.

“The NPSL was probably going to happen with or without the Auburn schools,” Swaim said.

Swaim acknowledged that not everyone is pleased with the outcome, which will pit Auburn’s programs against some schools with much larger enrollments in the playoffs. As of the Jan. 6 WIAA enrollment count, Auburn (1,202.75) was the largest high school in the district, followed by Auburn Riverside (1,179.16) and Auburn Mountainview (1,095.09). They are among 12 of 16 NPSL 4A that opted up from 3A. Tahoma (1,712.25) is the NPSL’s largest member, followed by Kentridge (1,548.83), Kent-Meridian

(1,506.28) and Kentwood (1,438.2).

Schools with the top 16 to 17 percent enrollment are recognized as 4A. Kentlake (1,019.32) was the only Kent school that opted up.

There were not enough members to create a viable NPSL 4A without members opting up.

Kent School District athletic director Dave Lutes said that was not an issue.

“The difference between 3A and 4A, in our opinion, is negligible,” he said.

Lutes said the impetus for the move was the potential size of SPSL 4A. With the potential additions of the Auburn public schools, Kennedy Catholic and Sumner, that league could have grown from 17 to 22 members.

That does not include the potential demise of the Narrows, which would leave 4A programs Bel-

off 30 minutes later against Auburn Mountainview.

“What I want to get out of the kids is that we don’t play this way because it’s a rivalry game,” Hansen said. “We play this way because it’s the next

game on the schedule.”

win in an SPSL 3A contest. No other details were provided for the Lions (11-1, 6-1).

Elsewhere Auburn Mountainview 80, at Enumclaw 53: The Lions rebounded from their first league loss with a dominant

larmine Prep, Olympia, South Kitsap and possibly Timberline, which is the smallest school (1,326.21) in its classification, looking for a new league.

“The south schools are wonderful people and wonderful friends,” Lutes said.

“This is more about community and bringing back some of the old rivalries and keeping the new ones we have now.”

Now comes the busy work. Swaim said the NPSL athletic directors have discussed dividing the 16 teams into two separate divisions. The Kent and Federal Way school districts, he said, could be evenly split into separate divisions. As for Auburn, Swaim said, he expects two high schools to play in one division.

“We want to make it a balanced, fair league,” he said.

Other elements that must be sorted out, Lutes said,

are developing a financial start-up, sports commissioner responsibilities, a league handbook with rules and regulations, scheduling formats and league administrative responsibilities.

Lutes, who became Kent’s athletic director in 1990 after compiling an 81-20 record during a nineseason run as Kentwood’s first football coach, looks forward to the challenge.

He said the NPSL dissolved at that time because Highline and Renton schools changed classifications.

“It’s kind of nostalgic for me because I think I’m the only athletic director left that went through that in 1990,” Lutes said. “I just kind of feel like we’ve come full cycle. I’m really excited for the league.”

[14] January 15, 2016 [ WAGNER from page 1 ] McGranaghan described Wagner as “strict and stern” – a characterization echoed by seniors Emma McFarland and Ben Summers, who plays the bass trombone.

But McFarland, who plays the bass clarinet, added that Wagner is also “the nicest person you will ever meet.”

“She does it in a good way,” McFarland said. “You have a healthy fear of her.

“She’s amazing at explaining what we need to do in a way that we can understand. It’s not pretentious or kind of frustrating. She’s patient, but wants us to succeed. It’s great.”

Summers plans to study computational mathematics at Brigham Young University, but McFarland and McGranaghan say Wagner has influenced them to become music teachers.

“She’s been a big inspiration,” McGranaghan said. “I want to teach people how to play cool instruments and all of the cool things about music that you don’t learn off of YouTube or your friend down the street.”

For Wagner, her inspiration was family. Her band instructor at Auburn High, from which she graduated in 2000, was her father, Kevin Paustian. He now guides Mt. Baker Middle School’s band. Wagner’s brother, Tony Paustian, is today the band director at Auburn.

“I kind of always knew I needed to do something with music because that was the one thing that no mat-

www.auburn-reporter.com ter what was going on in my life was my favorite activity,” said Wagner, who earned her master’s degree in music education from CWU. “I thought about maybe music therapy for a while.

“But really, when it came down to it, I realized my best way to spread my love of music was teaching students.”

For Wagner, 33, that extended to marriage. She met her husband, Ryan, while she was earning her bachelor’s degree in music education at Pacific Lutheran University. He is a professional trombone player who performs with the Olympia Symphony, the Federal Way Symphony, the Seattle Rock Orchestra and the Tacoma Ballet. In addition, her twin stepdaughters, Hailey and Mya, also are in Auburn Riverside’s wind ensemble and will travel to Europe, playing the trumpet and trombone, respectively.

“They are superstar musicians,” Wagner said. “It’s going to be fun to take them.”

She said the couple’s 7- and 5-year-old daughters are becoming interested in performing music, as well.

“It’s nice to have that connection with so many people in our family,” Wagner said. “We’re kind of this big musical family that continues to grow.”

Between teaching and raising children, Wagner said she does not have as much time to perform — she and her husband have traveled to Japan as part of a brass quintet – but aims

to remain active. She studied piano when she was introduced to music before playing the French horn from middle school through college.

“I had to learn a little bit of each instrument to teach,” said Wagner, who has been the band director for 11 years at Auburn Riverside.

“There’s no way I’m an expert in all of them.

“I’m constantly still practicing and working on my own craft.”

Wagner also endeavors to expose her students to different genres of music. While her wind ensemble studied the work of jazz legends Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Thad Jones, the marching band captivated spectators at Auburn Memorial Stadium with the popular sounds of “Star Wars” during halftime at football games.

“I’m a huge ‘Star Wars’ fan, so that was my moment to nerd out before the new movie came out,” Wagner said with a laugh.

She was hard-pressed to identify her favorite form of music before relenting. Wagner said classical narrowly would edge out jazz. With that in mind, Wagner also has some sightseeing in mind beyond the Eiffel Tower.

“I’m also interested in seeing where some of our big-name composers came from,” Wagner said.

“Where did Mozart grow up? Where did he write his music? I want to see where Beethoven is buried.”

And listen as the music of the world’s great composers resonates through her mind.
