A school of Mangofish
"Ladies and gentlemen, all the way from central Indiana, it's Mangofish!"
That's right. Mangofish is the band that I am tour managing this summer. And that (above) is the poster that the summer project media students designed for us! I am having a great time being a part of Mangofish, especially getting to connect and hang out with the students. So, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce our school of Mangofish to you all, so you too can get to know these cool people!

Lindsay has been on staff with Keynote for 2 years. She was a summer project student herself for two summers here!

Nolan is a drummer from Bellevue, Ohio. He attends Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, where he is studying business. Nolan tells me he's played drums ever since he was little, and he's excited to be continuing that trend with Mangofish. |

Ethan is on staff with Keynote, and came here about the same time as I did last fall. He is currently the lead electric guitar player for Giants of Silence, and is playing the same role in Mangofish this summer. Ethan is filling in for a student who is no longer able to tour with us. |

Josh is the tour manager for Mangofish this summer. He is an intern at Keynote and has been here for eight months. He is thrilled to be working with such an awesome group of staff and students, and is enjoying his new roles for the summer. He can't wait to get on the road with Mangofish and see the amazing things that will happen at the outreach concerts they'll be playing. Josh would like to thank you for stopping by his website and meeting all the great people he's spending his summer with. He hopes you have a great day! ;-) |
Be sure to check back here over the next few weeks for updates from the road during Mangofish's tour out west!
