While Sarah Keely grew up in a family of musicians, she didn’t get actively involved with music until she was in the sixth grade. She began playing the French horn that year and soon realized that she wanted to dive straight in. When Keely joined Rock Bridge’s marching band she started playing the mellophone, which is used as the middle-voiced brass instrument in marching bands in place of the French horn.
