History of Rock 'n' Roll at The Downtown School

In recent days, Ray Randall, who teaches eighth-grade English at The Downtown Schools, has been teaching a “History of Rock and Roll” class as one of the middle school’s Discovery options.

Colin Tribby, the school’s assistant principal, is friends with Rob Hotchkiss, the co-founder of Train, a Grammy-winning band Train. At Tribby’s invitation, Hotchkiss visited with students via a FaceTime video call to talk about music of the ‘90s.

                                                                                        

Hotchkiss is no longer with the band, but has started a new group with three of Train’s old members.
