Former Ferrwood Music Camp student Luke Kanyak performs with Penn State Blue Band at the Rose Bowl
Luke Kranyak has made us Ferrwood Proud! Luke, is a graduate of the Hazleton Area School District and as a saxophone student spent many summers at Ferrwood. His long-term goal of making it to the Penn State Blue Band was realized as an incoming Freshman. He was certain all of his dreams had come true until his recent performance at The Rose Bowl in California!
Incidentally, after “aging-out” as a camper, Luke continues to volunteer at the camp and hopes to return as a counselor and ultimately instructor.
Luke’s journey is an example of the opportunities offered to the youth of our community . . . be proud!
