Music helps people loosen up and find themselves, especially teenagers. Senior Andrew Sawyer expressed his deep admiration for music.
“I fell in love with music at such a young age,” Sawyer said. “That is why I joined the band to continue playing it and meet others who enjoy it as much as I do.”
It isn’t just teenagers who express themselves through their musical taste, but teachers as well. Health teacher Coach Nyborg often, if not always, plays music for his students to help them focus and get to know each other a little better.
“I think it helps the students open up and loosen up,” Nyborg said.
Overall, music is a great way to connect people as a community and meet new people, creating a strong sense of community, making new friends, and building strong relationships. Senior Cord Mcall can attest to this.
“Some of my strongest relationships were built off of my old band, and I love meeting new people at my gigs,” Mcall said.
Music has also helped people unlock new parts of their personality, such as senior Mariah Gibson.
“Music has helped me learn about parts of myself I never knew about,” Gibson said
