What started as a fun Halloween prank for students at Alliance High School last year has grown into something much bigger... the band Moonshot! 🎸

AHS teachers and alumni Mark Pisanello '12, Eric Peters '96, and Steve Cabassa '07 first performed together in the school lobby on Halloween as a surprise for students at the end of the day. After playing their first gig together, they decided to keep the music going and officially form a band. Since then, fellow AHS alumnus Joe Pisanello '04 has joined the group.

Want to catch Moonshot live? They'll be performing at the Carnation Food Fest tomorrow, Thursday, July 30 from 6-9 pm at the University of Mount Union!

We love seeing our staff members (and alumni) sharing their talents and having fun outside of school! 🎶🤘 #RepthatA
