A Quick Word with the Winners of the Talent Show

By David Vu, Staff Writer

Luis and the Glitter Planes, a band of six juniors, won first place in the Friday Night Live Talent Show. I recently caught up with them for a quick interview.

Baron Banner: When did you guys form?
Luis and the Glitter Planes: Actually, we got together maybe a month ago. Some of us have been playing with each other for a while, and then maybe a month ago we picked up Luis and got this band going.

BB: How long have you guys been playing your instruments?
LGP: Some of us have been playing for a while now. Some of us probably started playing maybe negative four years ago. (laughs) Just kidding.

BB: Whose idea was it to get together and join the talent show?
LGP: Brandon, our singer, actually had the idea of forming and joining the show.

BB: How did it feel to win the talent show?
LGP: We were actually surprised that we won because all the other times we practiced, we sounded really bad. That was probably the first time we played together and sounded good. It was pretty cool winning the show. It was “awesomesauce” (credit to Matt Sheldon, drummer).

BB: What have you guys done with the prizes?
LGP: Well, we still have our Best Buy gift card for $100 and we are probably going to buy a “keytar” which is a combination keyboard and guitar. We thought we lost the candy but it was in one of our cases.
