Joyce Suter and Scott Gleason tied as winners of the final regular season Icon high school weekly football contest. Andy Borgelt was eliminated in tie-breaker.
Mike Burris was the clear overall season winner in this year's contest. The cummulative records follow the weekly records below. Corey Greer was the judge of the high school contest.
Well, I play many instruments, though I don't play all of them very well. Guitar is definitely my primary instrument. I also play a bit of mandolin and banjo. Back at Bluffton High School, I was quite an adept trumpeter, but my chops aren't nearly what they used to be. I've started to learn to play the drums recently; it is really fun to hit things and call it music.
What was the first one you played? How old? Did the Gundy family have its own band?
