Initially focusing on performing, Stoll went on the road performing after graduation.

The Columbus Youth Jazz Orchestra is a highly competitive jazz band geared primarily towards very talented high school musicians in the central Ohio area. In addition to the Youth Jazz Orchestra, Stoll also created and oversaw the Columbus Youth Jazz Studio Ensemble and the Columbus Youth Jazz Workshop.

[9] Through these three bands, Stoll impacted the lives of hundreds of young people in central Ohio. Stoll's passion for jazz attracted talented student musicians from the entire region, even those who weren't initially interested in jazz.
