Delaney has been one of Emily's lifelong friends and they have gone through middle school, high school, and college together. In October of 2021 Emily was Delaney's Maid of Honor and she couldn't imagine this day without Delaney by her side. Delaney has always supported and encouraged Emily at every step of the way of life. One of Emily's favorite memories with Delaney is riding the Polar Express in Durango in the winter of 2019. Emily's favorite Christmas movie since childhood is the Polar Express and to watch it come to life in front of her with her favorite person meant the world to Emily!

As Daniel's big brother, Dale has been in his corner since the very start. From playing with swords, to watching star wars, to reading game of thrones, and all the way to playing music, Dale led the way showing his little brother the best things in life. Even as an licensed attorney, Dale's true talents are finding the best burritos and floating the swiftest rivers. On one adventure, Juan, Dale and Daniel all did a float together managing to spill their cooler tube, find almost half of the beer down river, and eat a deliciously water logged burrito. Dale was the only one to leave that trip with a sun burn.

Rey and Emily first met when Emily was in middle school and Rey was her youth group leader. They kept in touch and bonded over their love of music they have also seen The Maine together! As they've gotten older the two now tend to bond more about life and the challenges it can throw at us. Rey is one of Emily's role models and constantly inspires her to be a better person! One of Emily's favorite memories with Rey is spending New Years Eve together as we welcomed in 2018!

Juan is considered Daniel's oldest friend. Meeting in the hallways of middle school, and becoming brothers in high school, these two could be found at any time heading to a rehearsal, sitting in line at Dutch Bros, or sneaking in a burger even when we were still going to cook dinner at home. Juan stands out as one of the kindest and most generous people you'll ever meet. With Daniel, Juan shared his culture, his favorite music, his favorite food, and most meaningful is the love they share for each other.

Brandi and Emily met on the first day of college move in when they were checking into their dorm rooms at the same time. They would go on to become roommates and tackle the challenges of being music majors together. Brandi has been a sensible sounding board and a true support system for the past 8 years! Emily's Favorite memory with Brandi was going to see The Maine in New Mexico and counting bunnies on the side of the road to stay awake on the way home after the show! Through the good times and the bad, Brandi has always been there and Emily is forever grateful for her!

Chan and Dan go as far back as almost having shared a dorm room together in their first year at CWU in 2015. Instead, they would become best friends and take up living in the Opium Den and the Banana Shack for the rest of their Tuesday Nights. Chan is also the person you want planning and managing all of your vacations. Chan designed a week long getaway to the lovely back country of Northern Idaho, complete with the worlds most comfy camping chairs, a dynamite meal plan, the most thrilling river experience any of us lived through, and a breath taking bike ride. On this same adventure Chan learned how to back in a gigantic trailer and was cooking amazing food on the Blackstone before it was cool.

Emily met Sam during her first year at Adams State University in their Concert Band rehearsals. They quickly became fast friends and have gone on many adventures together including concerts in three states. Sam is Emily's "Chaperone" and "Big Sister Sam" on all of these adventures and makes sure that we are safe on every outing! Emily's favorite memories with Sam was the Fourth of July in 2020. The two couldn't get together for their usual eggs benedict breakfast and paddle boarding so they FaceTimed and tried to make it from scratch together!

When Elliott brought his yu gi oh deck to college, not only did he learn Dan was the superior duelist, but he also learned that Dan would always have the exact card they were looking for. These two not only found the exact cards they were looking for but they also found best friends that would play many madden games, yu gi oh duels, pokemon battles, and recently the rift! Elliott has been one of Dan's biggest supporters, and has been there for him through numerous ups and downs. Most notable might be a terrifying road rage incident while Elliott and Dan were heading to work at the Brick. The boys made it out without a scratch, but Dan's trusty stead bares the scars of their attacker.

Hallie and Emily were both interns at Music in the Mountains together starting in the summer of 2017 and were quickly (and aptly) named the Giggle Twins. They have remained close ever since, spending the summers Emily was in Durango together and getting together any chance they could. Emily's favorite memory with Hallie is going to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta together in 2019! This memory was just narrowly won over the time Hallie almost drove the two off the side of a mountain outside of Ouray when she was showing Emily her car llama. The laughs and memories they share together will go on to last a lifetime!

Ryan's life was forever changed when Daniel switched into his History Class during their freshmen year of High School. The two hilarious young men found themselves to be inseparable, and they teamed up on every major school project where their legacy of Ran and Dan would live forever. The combination of Ran and Dan has an effect on other people that never wears off, and strengthens over time. The boys still make music together, still heckle each other, all while not taking things too seriously. Even while ageing into adulthood, these two will always be children.
