Year<\/strong>: Sophomore Baldwin Wallace Sophomore, Luke Helwig, found music while watching Shrek 4. \u201cI was watching the fourth Shrek movie, and there was a scene where the pied piper is playing some nonsensical rendition of “Sure Shot” by Beastie Boys. Apparently, 6th grade me thought this was the coolest thing ever, and it had enough influence on me to start playing the flute. Thanks, Beastie Boys.\u201d Truly, inspiration can be found anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although he doesn\u2019t know the precise moment he chose to attend BW, Luke does admit it always felt like home to him. He first stepped onto campus in the summer of 2014, between 7th and 8th grades, to attend Band Camp as a relatively new flute player. \u201cI had very limited flute skills and even fewer social skills so naturally, I was a bit timid about going. However, my fear turned into excitement within the first hour, most likely due to the open and welcoming environment which was characteristic of the entire Community Music School staff then, and the entire Community Arts School staff now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
