Shivas Irons — The Band
Shivas Irons has taken on a new look and
sound.
 In
August we brought you the story of Trevor Willmott, Vinay
Shroff, and Jonathan Beam of Lexington, Kentucky whose band is
named Shivas Irons. Here is an update!
The band members have been very busy with their senior year
of high school. Both Trevor and Vinay made ‘All State Jazz Band’…only
one guitar player and two drummers are chosen from the state
competition that takes place. If you watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving
Day Parade the Dunbar High School marching band was 1 of 11 bands
chosen out of over 500 to march in the Parade this year. Vinay,
drummer extraordinaire, marched in the parade.
