Senior Sully Nguyen sings the song "Animal" by Neon Trees, alongside senior Alex Irwin. Nguyen co-founded the Guitar Club alongside junior Ojyo Cook and has slowly been recruiting new members. His guitar journey started in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and everything was shut down. "I just figured I'd pick it up since we were stuck inside," Nguyen said. Although he prefers playing the guitar, Nguyen has taken singing classes the past two years at WHS and sang most of his life. "I'm really excited to see where this club will go after I graduate," Nguyen said.
