Almost everybody in Woburn's recent history knows of Evan Porter.
Due to his prominence in Woburn's musical scene, people of all sorts (whether they do or do not know him personally, or even his name for that matter) recognize him firmly. They recognize him due to his notable presence and performances in various ensembles, as well as his versatility in instruments in some given ensembles. To give you an idea of his widespread presence, Evan has been in such school musical groups as the Concert choir, the Madrigal choir, the Chamber choir, the Wind ensemble, the Jazz band, and a Jazz quartet. To give you an idea of his versatility in instruments, I can say that in my time at Woburn, I have seen Evan sing for all three choirs as well as the Jazz band, play piano for chamber choir, play the baritone and tenor sax for the wind ensemble, and play electric bass, alto sax, tenor sax, and the drums for the Jazz band.

Most of you readers will likely know the above information already, but through some investigation and interviewing I have learned that Evan's presence in musical groups does not stop at school. Outside of school Evan partakes in a couple of other ensembles, such as the Jazz FM 91.1 Jazz band and a gospel group called Limitless Praise that he does with his church. I have also learned through interviewing, (for those wanting a more personal report on Woburn's somewhat celebrity artist) that Evan's favourite chords are Maj. 2nds, and Add 9s, and his favourite scales include the Pentatonic scales and the Bb concert harmonic scale. Furthermore, I made sure to ask Evan about his preferences on alto sax versus the tenor, to which he replied that he prefered the tenor as he found it to be more soulful. However, when asked for his preference between sax and bass, he said it was something he could not determine. In addition to the information on his personal preferences, I also learned that he was once a clarinet player. The story goes that when he was in grade six, he attended a school that did not have a sax for him to play, so he played the clarient instead. It apparently took him two weeks to make a sound and overall, he did not enjoy the clarinet very much.

In conclusion, Evan is a prominent figure in Woburn's musical system of whom I hope you have gotten to know better through this article. He is an evidently musically talented individual (perhaps something to do with his left handedness, and a right brain hemisphere dominance?), and is a figure we definitely should keep an eye out for in the future.
