Its
not clear what exact date the band was officially formed, but it known that
the idea was forged during a converstion on the sidelines of football practice
in August of 2004. The founding members were Brent Lewis, Cody Barnes, and Sean
Lacavera (on temporary leave from the band). A name was conceved the following
week by Cody. The original band name was "wasted youth" but because
Brent had later forgotten the first word, he used "mislead" to substitute
for it. when people asked what the band name was, he simply told them "mislead
youth". the rest of the band liked the name and decided to use that name
instead. Later, after hearing about the band from cody, Aaron Lassig was welcomed
into the band as our third guitarist. A few weeks later, Brent got into a converstation
with Haley McCarville and hence she too was welcomed into the band as its fourth
guitarist. lacking a lead singer, Brent voulenteered to do some vocals untill
some one else could fill the position. Due to some personal problems, Sean had
to tempeorarily leave the band. Cody, Aaron and Brent have bugun weekly practices
and are quickly getting to an even pace. While looking for a drummer, Cody found
Ryan Culpa and he became the bands first drummer, the band could now progress
further with someone to keep a beat. While coming up with an idea for some new
music, Brent realized that we needed a piano player, and after doing some searching
around, Brent discovered that his friend Stephanie Lutz played piano. She was
unoffically welcomed into the band that day and officially welcomed to the band
a week or so later when the rest of the band had agreed to adding another member.
Cody, Aaron, and Brent have continued practiceing, and soon Haley will also
be practicing with the band. Seeing as is that Haley is better at guitar than
any one else in the band, She is automatically the lead guitarist. Brent has
voulenteered to do the vocals, and has been working on his style, but his true
passion is with guitar, so he will play while he sings, for a while it will
be these four practicing so that they can find the direction for the songs,
and write them. This is the story to dat of a hopefully long and sucessful career
for Mislead Youth.
