    as Hermes

    Jason is a junior. He plays Hermes this year. Jason has been involved in several of the past musicals at the high school. These include Newsies (Elmer/ Chorus) his freshman year, and last year's production of Into the Woods (The Steward) his sophomore year. While these are the two biggest productions he's been involved in, he has also done the fall play his freshman year, as well as some smaller miscellaneous productions throughout his life. Outside of musical, Jason is involved in many other music-related activities. He is a member of the school marching band and Symphonic Choir, and is a member of the Harmoneers. He also takes voice and guitar lessons to supplement all the other musical things he enjoys doing. Jason's favorite thing about musical is the people. His musical family and friends are the first and foremost reason why he keeps coming back every year.
