Scottsbluff’s Hassie Hood, one of the state’s top high school musicians who was selected to sing the National Anthem at the Nebraska State Wrestling Championships in Omaha in February, says singing as well as playing the piano and trumpet bring her lots of joy

SCOTTSBLUFF – For as long as Hassie Hood can remember, she’s been passionate about music.
She would often stroll through her house singing songs, some of them that she made up herself, and she started taking piano lessons in kindergarten. Later in life, she even began playing the trumpet.
“I’ve always loved singing and playing music,” said Hood, a senior at Scottsbluff High School. “Music, whether I’m singing or playing an instrument, makes me happy. I get a lot of good emotions from it. I feel beautiful when I sing.”
