Today’s Throwback Thursday comes to us from This photo comes from a concert in 2019. Emmie (violinist circled in the front) was a sophomore in high school at the time. Unbeknownst to Emmie, her future husband, Mike (percussionist circled in the back) was subbing in the percussion section! Emmie and Mike met later at Butler University, where they both are currently attending and studying music. They were married this past July!!!
