Music unites people across all countries, generations and backgrounds. Regardless of if someone is making it or listening to it, it’s an important part of so many lives.

Will Dalman (‘25) has been playing the electric guitar for two and a half years now.“I decided to start a band due to not wanting to get an office job, instead wanting to freely work how I want,” Dalman said. “Now, I’m planning how I’m gonna start gigging.” Dalman and his friend are still working to build a full band. “I am looking for a drummer so if anyone is interested in helping out, please let me know.”

Tony Campanella (‘26) has been playing drums since he was four. He’s in a band called Just A Blur with two of his friends. “We are all music lovers and happened to play instruments so we decided to form a band,” Campanella said. “We all have different tastes which is a good thing because we’re able to add our own spin to every song we write, or cover.”

James Lightle (‘26) has been playing drums since second grade, then later learned the ukulele, keyboard and guitar. He’s in a band called Pumpkins in Crime. Lightle started the band with his older sister, Genevieve Lightle, as well as some friends. “I really love playing all of these instruments,” Lightle said. “You can be creative and come up with anything you want.”
