On Tuesday her friends and fellow bandmates surprised her at her home in Georgetown playing classic holiday tunes, letting her know she’s not alone in this fight.
“It’s pretty awesome, I walked outside and saw them, just to know that they put it all together it’s pretty cool,” said Adeline Jansson.
Being in percussion Jansson said if she would’ve known ahead of time she would’ve grabbed her equipment and joined her friends in playing.

“This is pretty cool, this is the closest I’ve been face-to-face with some of these friends. Yeah I definitely miss being able to be in band class just seeing them in person in a while,” said Jansson.
Once the concert was over she was handed a proclamation from the city saying that the city also shows support in her battle.
