Erik Kneisel

Erik is a senior at THS and is quite bittersweet about this being his last performance here. He has so many great memories about this home, and it's not going to be an easy time leaving. He would love to give a big shout-out to many of his favorite teachers, but only has room for one, so he'll pick Mr. Bonitz, his band director. Thanks for helping him through high school!
