Through what was originally a grant from the Knoch Knights Legacies Foundation, Mr. Brent Russell took a group of students to visit Tonic Studios in McKeesport again this year. Here the students had the opportunity to play and record their music, then have it digitally "polished", giving them a glimpse of how professionals in the music businesses use engineering and technology to improve what is actually recorded.
Students who attended were Aaron Butler, Aaron Diehl, Kevin Golden, Kira Lis, Connor Mitchell, Brooke Patterson, Braydon Sloan, Cameron Weibel, Chris Young, and Austin Zarnick.
