East Gaston’s Aaron Hollar is a music man By Alan Hodge alan@cfmedia.info

The iconic 1962 film “The Music Man” featured plenty of marching band scenes with musicians wearing dashing outfits playing gleaming instruments and East Gaston High graduate Aaron Hollar would have fit right in any of them. The son of David and Jodeana Hollar of Stanley, Aaron has since an early Aaron Hollar age been in his element when he’s dressed in his marching band uniform blowing his horn and entertaining folks at half time during sports events or taking part in parades. Aaron started down his musical path as a student in sixth grade when he took up the euphonium. What’s a euphonium? It’s a horn slightly smaller than a tuba. “A tuba was too big for me,” he said. “The band director needed a euphonium player.” He credits his Stanley Middle School music teacher, the late Kelly Robb who passed away in October, 2020, with urging him onward in his climb up the school band ladder. “She was a very big influence,” Aaron says. “She gave me my foundation in the love of music.” See HOLLAR, Page 2

Stuart Cramer grad Nathon South Point grad Madyson Ross plans Radford has set his sights on an automotive career a career in nursing By Alan Hodge

People who enter the healthcare field, as South Point grad Madyson Ross plans to do, need compassion, competence, as well as commitment and she has all these qualities in abundance. Madyson is the daughter of Terronna and Torben Ross. Incidentally, her mom has been Madyson Ross a French teacher at South Point for 26 years and her brother Torben is a freshman there. Madyson’s desire to become a nurse surfaced when she was around seven years old and was influenced by several factors. “I have two aunts who are nurses,” she said. “They have been role models that still inspire me.” The other was the death of her grandfather James Ross in 2020 from Covid. “It was a hard time,” she said. “It made me want to care for others. It showed me not to take life for granted and to help others if they have no one else to go to.” That caring attitude is central to Madyson’s life. “I just love putting smiles on people’s faces,” she says.

Stuart Cramer High graduate Nathon Radford is a multitalented guy who can do everything from cooking good food to playing football for the Storm team, but it’s when his head is under the hood of a car that he’s happiest. Nathon, the son of Frank and Crystal Radford of Mt. Holly, has his post high graduate sights Nathon Radford set on pursuing a career as an automotive technician. He will attend Lincoln College of Technology in Nashville, Tennessee starting June 30 for a 16-month program in Auto Mechanics. He has been offered a full-time job by Toyota upon completion of his schooling. “I’ve always had something for cars,” he said. “When I was growing up I would help my uncle Jessie Harbin work on them. He was an inspiration to me.” Sadly, Harbin passed away at an early age, but the motivational and inspirational seeds he planted in Nathon grew. “Besides teaching me to work on car, he gave me my work ethic,” he said. That work ethic surfaces in many ways. When Radford’s See RADFORD, Page 2

Some of his accomplishments include: All-County - 2 years (2020 & 2022) (10th & 12th), All-District - 2 years (2020 & 2022) (10th and 12th), All-State - 1 year (2022) (12th), UNC Charlotte Honors Band - (2021) (12th), Featured Soloist Marching band/Concert band - (20202022) (10th-12th), Baritone Section Leader/Brass Captain - (2020-2022) (11th & 12th). Aaron will be attending Lenoir-Rhyne University on a Band Scholarship. East Gaston band director Brandon Taylor had this to say about one of his favorite students of all time. “Aaron is one of the funniest, most intelligent, passionate, and talented young musicians I have ever had the pleasure to know,” Taylor says. “This young man has taught me so much about music and work ethic, and he is humble throughout all aspects of his life. It is difficult for me to choose only a few examples of good times or

Aaron also had a musical environment at home to draw on. His sister Jordan is a member of the East Gaston chorus. His father is a huge Elvis fan. In fact, Aaron has something in common with “The King”. “My first name is the same as Elvis’ middle name,” Hollar says. In addition to feeding his love of music, being in the band also fuels Aaron’s delight in showing folks a good time. “Half time is our time,” he says. “Music is about entertainment and our group is the star of the show. Parades are fun as well, but the marching can be tiring. My instrument is heavy!” Aaron’s hard work and talent have brought him much deserved recognition. He was a 2021 Governor’s School attendee in instrumental music. He was offered scholarships to Lenoir

the line when it comes to a certain brand of vehicle. “I hate working on Fords,” he said. Radford says that overall, he’s enjoyed his time at Stuart Cramer- especially as a member of the Storm varsity football team where he played linebacker and running back among other positions. “They had me everywhere,” he said. He also has kind words for his teachers. “They are good people and really care about others,” he said. Nathon’s ability to quickly grasp subjects and ideas made him a success at other subjects besides those of an automotive nature. Here are a few remarks on Nathon Radford by teacher Me-

not at school or fixing a car, he’s on the job at Food Lion in Cramerton where his dad is assistant manager. These days, a lot of folks don’t even know how to change a spark plug, but Radford’s mechanical knowledge goes way beyond that. He applies that skill to his own 2003 Lexus. “I bought it from my dad and changed the cams and pistons to make it perform better,” he said. “I also put in a limited slip differential.” He helps his family with their vehicles too. “I do their oil changes and other repairs,” he said. Though he can wrench on most anything, Radford draws

memories of his time spent here at East Gaston. Aaron and his infectious smile and positive attitude have been something that I have just come to expect when I walk through the band room doors; from listening to him scream songs on the back of the band bus on the way back from marching competitions with his friends, to the numerous audition takes (and I mean numerous), to his ability to make a joke about anything. Aaron has the wit of someone far beyond his years. I could not be prouder of this young man and his accomplishments. He is only just graduating and already he has shown me that he is willing to take any challenge head on and with the grace, humor and maturity of someone three times his age. Aaron, it has been a pleasure to teach you and I wanted to thank you for teaching me as well. I am sad to see him leave but I know great things are ahead.” As far as his future, Hollar is not sure if he will make a profession of music, but the

Though Nathon is going to school for automotive and welding, he still learned a lot in this class to help him in his future. Though Culinary Arts is not his focus, I believe that it has prepared him in many ways for college and life beyond. He has learned organizational skills, he has learned how to prioritize goals and work towards achieving his goals and has learned the value of how his hard work can pay off. Nathon is a vibrant young man and I believe that he is destined for great things!” As far as passing on advice to his underclassmen, Radford

Lady Red Raiders soccer action... The South Point High Lady Red Raiders soccer team traveled to Lake Norman Charter School last week for the semi-final championship game. When all the kicking was concluded, South Point came up short 5-1. However… the team finished the season 23-1 and they won the Big South Conference Title and they were West Regional Finalists in the 3A state tournament. Great work by the team.
