Alrighty here's the story. I was a normal kid back in junior high and somewhat of a nerd. At that time I still knew most of my friends in our band. I knew Faris when I was like 11 years old, Emilio when I was like in 5th grade, and Daniel when I was in 6th grade.I took a music appreciation class in 7th grade with faris. My music teacher was a guy named Mr. Gershenson who really didn't know what he was doing, but he was cool. I learned how to read music and rythms in that class. Well one day, near the end of 7th grade, I went to my friend faris' house and was introduced to the trumpet. Emilio and Faris were messing around with this trumpet that faris got from somewhere. Well they really sucked at it, but the reason why they wanted to learn was because Mighty Mighty Bosstones were big at that time and so was ska. Well I kinda got influenced by them and we all joined the band the next year in 8th grade.

      The Band in 8th grade was quite a trip. Faris, Emilio, and I all decided that we wanted to play trumpet and so we did. It was really difficult actually to learn, especially with a teacher like Mr. Gershenson (A.K.A Mr. G). Well near the end of the year I noticed that my friends got tired of playing the trumpet, but as you can see I didn't. Well Faris and Emilio and I went on to the BIG High School (*sarcasm). There we all signed up for band, but Faris and Emilio dropped the class. I stayed because I was influenced by this good ass trumpet player named Josh Brown. Faris replaced that class with guitar class and Emilio I don't know. Emilio sort wanted to play guitar too. Well once again I was influenced by my friends to play guitar as well as the trumpet. I was also influenced to play guitar because my Dad does and he's hella awesome at it. Well I learned guitar and became better at trumpet. Later on Emilio had the freakin' weirdest idea to learn the drums and practiced by ear like Faris on guitar. Well as the story goes on I did pretty good in High School and didn't do much until junior year where I got to know Daniel a lot better. Daniel had started up a band my junior year and I joined it by association with Emilio and Faris. I played rythm guitar, Daniel played Lead guitar, Faris played Bass, and Emilio was still using some practice drumset pad thingy. Well we really sucked then and I was only in it for about 2 months until they kicked me out without even telling me, those pussies didn't want to hurt my feelings (those s.o.b.'s). Oh ummmmm..... well anyways we all became better at our instruments and the next year, which is our SENIOR year, finally, we started the band again at Daniels house in a little shed called BIG WOODY! It was actually during the summer.

      The band was then named Issue10 because of a little inside joke. Wait a minute I know what your thinking: "Where the hell does Tyler the trombone player come into place" well who knows (j/k). Well he's actually Emilio's neighbor and played in the American High School Marching Band with me my Sophomore year. We wanted him during the summer because we were back into ska and wanted another brass player other than me. Well that's a quick summary of what happend. Ummmm......yeah go Issue10!!!!!!!!!!!!!
