Favorite Band: Loverboy, Styx, Molly Hatchet Why are you participating in Golden Bell Battle of the Bands? I am doing it because it is not always easy to get what you want or learn how to be good at what you do. You have to work at it and learn discipline to achieve things to be successful. The kids that benefit from the Golden Bell Education Foundation do not have it easy. They have to work hard and learn discipline to be what they want to be and do what they want to do. All the while by always having a great time while accomplishing everything they want. |
