Becky Schmidt

Name: Becky Schmidt

Hometown: Rochester, MN. 

Major/Minor: Preveterinary Medicine / Emergency Health Services

Year in band: Fourth (out of five)

Why the flute/picc section? Because Wisconsin sucks.

Favorite Food: Badger hotdish, side of Hawkeye legs, which I never eat in my band jacket.

Favorite movie quote: "Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you are a racist... I will attack you with the North'." 

The thing that I do out of habit everyday that I will never be able to quit is: Stop and look at my Red Wings wall... even though NOTHING HAS CHANGED on it since the season ended. 

My band crush is: still El Train. COME BACK.

I will do anything for love, but I won’t: cheer for the Ducks.

Current song I am obsessed with: Hood Star because I am a gangsta'

Mac or PC:  I just switched to a Mac this summer. It's cool. Actually it's the opposite of 'cool' since Macs don't have a computer fan.

Favorite sound:  COWBELL..! Just kidding. Red Wings goal buzzer. 

A fun, random fact about me is:  I am obsessed with 'Beauty and the Beast', Ford Mustangs, and white tennis shoes.

Biggest pet peeve:  When people say, "Don't be offended, but..." of course I'm going to be offended you nitwit!!! I'll just punch you in the mouth now to save time.

The best present I ever received was:  Hmm... can't think of one at the moment.

Favorite color highlighter:  Pink! It makes more of a statement in your gory medical textbooks, like "Hey! I know that guy's bone is sticking out of his skin, but it's not so bad because I have a pink highlighter!! Whee!!"

Favorite band memory thus far:  Flute Drumline... and reading the Rumor Mill every year.

I don’t do drugs but I DO get high from:  Hockey.

Plans for after college:  I plan to be a S.W.A.T. Team Paramedic. I am told that this will result in my being shot at least once in my lifetime. This may possibly take the place of my kidney surgery's #1 slot on my 'most painful life experiences' list.
