Will Blackburn
Director of Music
From: Lexington, South Carolina
I have been playing the cello for over four years. I only chose orchestra at first because we got to go on trips, but as soon as we started playing I realized how much I enjoyed music. Now I have made region orchestra 3 years in a row and play for the South Carolina Youth Philharmonic Orchestra at the Symphonic level. I enjoy sharing my love of music with others and hope to share this love with others!
