Paly ASB hosted Quadchella featuring live music from students and teachers for Spring Spirit Week during lunch on Wednesday, March 27.

One of the performing bands included history teacher Grant Blackburn, english teacher Richard Rodriguez, journalism teacher Brian Wilson and senior Max Rabbitt. Rabbitt, a guitarist, said he had fun performing live music for the student body.

“It’s fun to watch live music, it’s something that’s not as popular now,” Rabbitt said. “Playing live is always the most fun part, you get to show off your music and your skills.”

Junior Ella Hwang said she enjoyed seeing her peers showcase how they spend their time outside of school.

“It’s really valuable to see your peers’ extracurricular activities,” Hwang said. “You don’t really know what some of your classmates do outside of school and it’s fun to get a look into that part of their lives.”

Wilson, the band’s drummer, said playing for students shows how fun teachers can be and brings everyone together.

“Selfishly, (performing) is valuable to me because it’s a lot of fun,” Wilson said. “In terms of the student body, I think they enjoy seeing us get together and do things other than teaching. Show them that we can work together and crank out some really fun tunes.”

Like Rabbitt, Wilson also said he considers live music to be a special experience.

“I really appreciate the support of the Paly student body,” Wilson said. “It’s really cool to see people out here enjoying live music.
