It was a great night at the Berklee Alumni Mixer at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston. Aubrey's father graduated in 1983 and her grandfather graduated in 1956 and taught there for 30 years. Aubrey had the opportunity to meet Berklee President, Roger Brown and many Berklee alums and faculty members. The new chair of the bass department, Steve Bailey, played an incredible performance along with fellow bassist, John Patitucci. Aubrey was honored to be asked to sit-in by bassist, Baron Browne who recognized her from her videos. It was her first time playing a 5-string bass!
