"Those boys. 'Nuff said. If they play the song that they don't like playing for a fan, it makes them great. The rest of the night went amazingly well. The boys, once again, put on a wonderful show! Their enthusiasm and love for the music definitely shows throughout all aspects of their set. ...Although there was no witnessing of girls' raging hormones bouncing off the walls (or was there?), the show was amazing. The guys are incredibly talented, and very nice." Read More

I come from more a rock background, so my drumming style is influenced by guys like Jimmy Chamberlin and Carter Beauford." Read More

"It's a distinctly pop triumvirate, but one that will definitely appeal to the high school/college student crowd, which is what the event's staff sponsor -- Shawnee Mission West English teacher Annie Heidersbach -- says they hope to attract.
