WDSD Spotlight – Meet Addison

 

Addison is a 16-year-old 8th grader at Christian Academy of Louisville where he plays percussion in their Marching Band and runs on the Track Team! He loves ALL kinds of music from Fred Astaire & Broadway to 80’s rock and Skillet! When not competing in Marching Band Competitions or Track Meets, you might find him at home playing board games with his family, rocking out on his drum set, watching anything Marvel-related, reading about snakes & sharks, playing Xbox, or eating chips & salsa at his favorite restaurant, Gustavos!
