Every Wednesday before school, while the Palo Alto High School campus lies in silence, one classroom is already spilling with sound.
Meet the Elevator Keys: Paly economics teacher Grant Blackburn (electric guitar), history teacher Corbin Dodd (bass) and math teacher Zachary Barnes (drums).
Since their formation last year, The Elevator Keys have ditched the sheet music, instead opting to improvise by adapting to each other’s riffs.
When we filmed the band in December, we arrived early to catch a glimpse into the band’s process. This is what we captured.
