Kelsey and Dante met during freshmen year at Ithaca College while at their instrument lockers which just so happened to be right by one another. Kelsey boldly introduced herself by stating, "Hi, I'm the cool Kelsey" as there were two Kelseys in their classes, then she walked away. To this day, she has no recollection of that interaction. They managed to not talk or run into each other for the next two years. During junior year, Dante and Kelsey had almost every class together and their professors would always assign them to be partners. One day, Dante made Kelsey play the tuba for a class assignment. She almost passed out. In retaliation, Kelsey made Dante play the clarinet, an instrument he and his (clarinet-playing) friends lovingly called "the misery stick." I guess one could say it was love at first clarinet squeak.
