COLUMBIA CITY —The beat of the drums resounded in the band room as 16-year-old Whitko High School sophomore Jalen Gregory displayed his musical talent.
In Jalen’s eyes, the drums produce a self-expressing beat, giving his audience the opportunity to peer deeper into his character and learn more about him through music.
“When I play the drums I want people to not just listen, but to feel it,” said Jalen. “I want people to know who I am through my music.”
COLUMBIA CITY —Congratulations were in order for 18-year-old Columbia City High School student Michaela Thomas as she walked through the front door of the Whitley County Community Foundation, holding two awards in her hands. “Nothing should hold anyone back from this experience,” said Thomas Sunday afternoon.
