A. Great!
Q. What instrument(s) do you play, and how long have you been playing?
A. I play drums for the High School Band.
Q. What inspired you to start playing music? Do you have any musical role models?
A. Listening to rock and blues inspired me. Some of the musicians I look up to are Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Joe Bonamassa.
Q. What’s your favorite piece or song to perform, and why?
A. We played “Smooth” by Santana a couple years ago. I liked playing that because I thought it sounded cool the way we interpreted it as a band.

A. Trying to practice at some point during the day.
Q. What has been your proudest moment as a musician so far?
A. Being able to make friendships within the band.

A. I liked when we got to ride roller coasters at Six Flags after a performance.

A. Don’t get upset when you fail. The greats have failed more than the beginner has tried.
Q. What are your future goals in music, whether in college or beyond?
A. I want to be able to gig when I’m older. I’ve seen my dad play live at some small local events before. It would be cool to follow what he’s done.

A. Jimi Hendrix. He’s the best of all time.
Q. Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give a shoutout to for supporting your musical journey?
