of Odyssey. She was also on the Precision Prep Team at Pine Tree

highlight of her freshman year. She was chosen as "Marcher of the 
Week" on September 29, 2006. She was also chosen as "Auxiliary 
Member of the Week" at the Pine Tree 2006 Homecoming. On Friday, 
November 17, Jordan was so excited to have earned third chair French

band's 2006-2007 auxiliary flag line, and the flag line received a 
first division rating and "Best In Class" award at the Vickie Bowden 
Mobbs Twirling and Flag Line Competition on Saturday November 18, 
2006. She also received several first divisions on UIL solos and 
ensembles for her French horn playing over the last few years. She
