Michael is a senior at Kamiak High, and is going on to a career in composition of music for movie production. Michael turned 18 years old the night of the premier performance of his new song.

I spoke with a band member who said he loved how Michael would take suggestions about his part, and rewrite to accomodate the suggestion. So the whole bands collaboration made this piece great! Michaels every moment, is about music. Happy Birthday Michael!
