Jonathan Buchanan is a junior at Maumee Valley. He enjoys studying math, science, participating in robotics, and working with computers. In addition to these activities, he has found a passion for music. He plays the violin, guitar, bass, and drums. He’s involved in a hard rock band called Half Step Back and a metal band called Atrofi. He also enjoys producing my own songs. Over the last three years, he’s become fascinated by heavy metal and its various subgenres. His talk will be about the subtle differences between these genres and he will demonstrate these on my guitar. Jonathan Buchanan is a junior at Maumee Valley.
