A junior at Conway High School, Gingerich has been studying the trombone for six years and is the student of Todd Johnson. Gingerich is a member of the Conway High School band and jazz band and the Arkansas all-region and all-state jazz and concert bands. He is also the principal trombonist for the Arkansas Youth Symphony.
