Band
Drummer and vocalist in Studio Band, a new rock / alternative band that ran at the same time as normal winter sports. I served as a leader my junior and senior years in Studio Band. Two major shows are associated with Studio Band: An acoustic show in January either at the Frontier Cafe in Brunswick, ME, or at One Lonfellow Square in Portland, ME, consisting of a set list of about 20 songs; an electric show "The Last Waltz" in February at the Safford stage at North Yarmouth Academy, again consisting of a set list of about 20 songs. Studio Band would also perform at various basketball games and school functions.

Acoustic Panel Student Grant
In pursuit of my Distinction in Music, I submitted a proposal to the North Yarmouth Academy Parents' Association regarding the school's gymnasium. Because speeches and most music performances are held in the gym, I felt that the sound quality of the gym was inadequate for this additional purpose other than basketball and volleyball. Therefore I wrote a student grant including plans to build 24 acoustic panels. The grant was approved, and I spent several months working on measuring the gym, budgeting materials, building the panels, and undergoing fire inspection. In August of 2017, the panels were all built and ready for installation, however, the fire inspection came back negatory due to the lack of a sprinkler system in the gymnasium. The project is currently being reevaluated as to how it can move forward. The current consensus, as of October 2017, is to build a sprinkler system in the gym in order to install the panels.
