GSLV Student Chapter

By Katrina Leshan



The Student Chapter of the Guitar Society of Las Vegas is a fast-growing mass of energetic guitarists ready to reform the local music scene. Composed of students ranging from sophomores to seniors in high school from the Las Vegas Academy of International Studies, Performing and Visual Arts (LVA) under the direction of Bill Swick, this section of the Guitar Society of Las Vegas has gradually become a highlight in many of the Society's local events. With repertoire ranging from Bach pieces to covers of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to originals that the kids compose themselves, the Student Chapter provides a healthy variety of music at all Winchester Community Center events, Border's gigs, and seasonal performances. Many students use the Guitar Society as their main outlet, showcasing their individual abilities at every chance they get.

Frequenters at the coffee shop scene include: the Las Vegas Academy Junior Guitar Quartet, Zach Blakeslee Reid, Katrina Leshan, Ricky Martinez and Skylar Caporicci. The LVA Junior Guitar Quartet plays ensemble music from every period, while Zach Blakesless Reid focuses on contemporary guitar literature. Both Ricky Martinez and Katrina Leshan like to "strum and hum"; Ricky covers pieces by indie artists and Katrina plays originals. As more students participate, more locals are attracted to the Guitar Society of Las Vegas. Each gig is a showcase of the capabilities within the GSLV Student Chapter, and, as the chapter continues to grow, so does the talent.
