Holley Rotunda piano brings students together


Most students go to their colleges campus only for class, and then leave as soon as they possible can. This has begun to change for some Florida State University Panama City students though.

Located in the Holley Rotunda is a beautiful Steinway and Sons grand piano. Students are gathering around it to share their love of music with one another.

“I have played the piano for almost 15 years,” student Marshall Sowell said. “I originally wanted to learn to play the violin, but was told I should learn to play the piano before attempting to learn any other instrument. I fell in love with the piano, and wanted to learn more and more.”

The students who gather in the the Holley Rotunda come from a multitude of backgrounds. However, this piano has brought them together and formed friendships among them.

Sowell is not the only student who spends his free time on campus at the piano. Multiple students enjoy playing, and the rest of campus looks forward to hearing them play.

“It makes coming to school more enjoyable when you can listen to them playing the piano while walking to and from class,” student Justine Powell said.

Students are glad the piano is being used and hope to see more instruments on campus in the future.
