The ordinary student at Southmoreland High School usually goes and gets breakfast or walks around the school with their friends in the morning. However, Eli Magyor and Zac Peters are not your ordinary students. Instead of feasting on a breakfast sandwich or grabbing a quick snack, these students like to feast on the sounds of their fingers strumming guitar chords to get them started for a school day.

Magyor and Peters both have musical talents of being great guitarists, and they show off these talents in the history hallway stairwell almost every morning. Magyor and Peters aren’t doing this for the looks, but instead just to have fun showing each other what they can play and enjoy the music they make as a group. Although one day, they came up with an idea, an idea that could change the way Southmoreland looks at music- a music club.

This wouldn’t be a simple after school activity, however; it would be something this school could orientate and make a part of it.

“Having this class would be a definite inspiration to musicians who are oppressed from playing their instruments because of the lack of classes,” Magyor said.

This club wouldn’t be a place to just come and play, however. Magyor and Peters came up with the idea of a “Battle of the Bands,” a head-to-head competition from schools all over the region. Having that opportunity not only would make this club popular, but it would be a huge achievement to the clu, and also to Magyor and Peters.

“Coming up with this idea has really inspired me to actually try and make this possible, and I think if it could happen it could make a huge difference in our school and other schools everywhere,” Magyor said. “I just want to show to people how they can appreciate music in an amazing way.”
