With the first black club day came the very first Guitar Club meeting, where members got together to hang out and play the instrument they loved, whether it was electric guitar, acoustic guitar or bass. Sponsored by Ms. Lisa Nichols, the club met out on the patio and jammed out, playing various songs and electrifying riffs.
“The guitar club went well,” said junior Andy Steele, who was instructed to snap pictures of the club as his assignment for photography class. “It was just a bunch of people playing stringed instruments, and wasn’t organized at all. The members just played whatever they wanted to.”
There were only two outlets on the patio, so people with electric and bass guitars switched off using two amplifiers. Peter Jensen, a freshman, was one of the students that had to share the output jacks, having brought an electric instrument.
“The first guitar club was pretty cool,” he said. ” I liked it a lot.”
In the end, everyone got to play for at least a little bit. This club offered a way for students to bond and become increasingly better guitar players.
