Rockin’ The School And The Stage: Randall Principal Leads With Music And Heart
By Logan Walz
Most middle school principals spend their evenings preparing for campus events and answering emails. However, for Randall Middle School Principal Colin Gerding, his nights are often spent with a guitar in hand under the stage lights, leading his band, Colin Gerding and The Chase.
Gerding’s love for music began at an early age.
My dad played several instruments, including guitar, so there was that early influence at home, he said. By middle school, Gerding was discovering his own sound, and he has now been writing for more than 35 years.
Though one might think balancing a school and a band would be difficult, Gerding said music is what keeps him centered.
Music is what helps me find release in a stressful, demanding job. I don’t think I would be as effective a principal if not for having music as an escape, he explained.
