Mr. Johnson stated, "Words cannot express how proud I am of Keshawn! I've known Keshawn since he was a little boy. In fact, Keshawn's grandmother and my grandfather are siblings; however, that never stopped me from treating Keshawn like everyone else. He was always known to be respectful and humble when it came to his musical capabilities. I'm excited to see that his actions has officially earned him such an opportunity as this. I believe he will continue to go far."
Keshawn departed in August to begin his journey with the South Carolina State 101 Marching Bull Dog Band. Join us in wishing him well and congratulating him on such an outstanding achievement.
