FloydCast with Community High School Band
At FloydFest, Community High School Band was one of the big surprises for me. The kids were good players and worked well together.
After the set, I spoke with singer Lindsey Willis, 17, and guitarist/keyboardist Ellis Byrd, 14, two young players who are musically wise beyond their years. Then I talked some with their music teachers, John McBroom and Mike Maycock, both talented and well-seasoned pro players. I sandwiched the interviews between some sound clips that will give you an idea of this band's talent.
The rest of the band is: Dereck Volpe (drums); Will Hooper (guitar) and Isha Devine (vocals). Keep an eye out for them.
