His trumpet accomplishments read like milestones on a journey defined by dedication:<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s auditioned for Junior All-State, earned a nomination for the IMEA Honor Band, and achieved Gold ratings at both regional and state Solo &amp; Ensemble contests, performing at the most challenging level.<\/p>\n<p>But for Cameron, it\u2019s not just about the medals.
