Meet Dillweed: The Punks Of Bluegrass BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Every Wednesday at 6 p.m., local folk band Dillweed performs at Phantom Power, 121 W. Frederick St., Millersville. Due to the band’s unconventional blend of traditional
folk and bluegrass music, audiences often refer to Dillweed’s members as “the punks of bluegrass.” The band may think outside the box, but its members have one main goal: to have a great time playing tunes. See Dillweed pg 3

Due to the playful and comedic nature of “Once Upon a Mattress,” the students have learned to step outside of their comfort zones and enjoy the silliness. “It’s a goofy play. You have to put yourself out there as this person who’s all willy-nilly,” said Rayn Andreychek, who will play Prince Dauntless. Andreychek is a freshman at Penn Manor High School and has been involved with theater since he was in sixth grade.
