Minerva Student Builds Bass Guitar

conor

Using a piece of aged pine he found in his garage, Minerva senior band member Conor Freeland used a band saw to build his own custom electric bass guitar. He then painted the body with green and blue wood stain. The neck and other electrical parts he bought online and installed himself. The bass is about an inch longer than a standard electric bass.

You can hear Conor, his custom bass, and the rest of the Minerva High School Jazz Band in action at Friday home varsity basketball games beginning Friday, December 4th.

Minerva HS Alma Mater

Come all along and sing we a song
Of our Minerva High,
Oh, worthy art thou of fame
Where age and youth have sought the truth,
And as the years roll by,
Beloved is thy glorious name,
Beloved is thy glorious name.

Oh! Minerva! Oh! Minerva!
Hail to thee, our dear old high school!
Oh! Our Minerva High School
Our Alma Mater dear,
For thee we'll ever cherish,
For thee we'll ever cheer
Oh! may we ever prosper;
Our hearts' best wish to thee,
Oh! Our Minerva High School,
is for prosperity.
