Why do you think there are so many new teen bands?
There are many new programs, for example "Be in you own Band" that offer help to teens with their idea of starting a band. More young bands seem to be popular right now, and us teens look at that and think, "we can do that too!" but it takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Mainly it's just about having fun!
What are the goals of the band?
The goals of the band are to really just take it as far as we can and to be as successful as we can with our music, before we had off to college. We are very passionate about this, and the experiences we are having along the way are awesome!
Greg: To be a giggin' as a jazz drummer.
Jackie: To be a successful musician /songwriter and to learn as much as possible about music and the music industry.
De'Andre: My ultimate goal is learning all I can as musician (jazz, classical, etc.) and to take my music to as high of a level as I can.
Why did you start playing music?
Greg: it's what I've wanted to do as a career
Jackie: I've always had a passion for music, and I wanted to express it!
De'Andre: I started playing music because my cousin Nathan knew how to play bass and I was really influenced to start learning how to play bass. I also got into music from playing at my middle school.
Have you had any lessons or training?
Greg: I've taken drum lessons from Joe DeRose privately and have had many instuctors in Marching Band and Drum Corporations
Jackie: I've been taking lessons from Ken Draft for about two years now.
De'Andre: I took beginner lessons for about a month and a half, but other than that I haven't had any lessons and I'm all self-taught.
Do your parents support your music?
Greg: Yes, they dive me wherever I need to be, and they pay mostly everything.
Jackie: Yes, my parents are very supportive because they are always at the shows and they take care of me when I need help.
De'Andre: My parents drive me places and buy me musical supplies, and help any way possible.
