East grad returns to perform for school's 40th anniversary |
You know the idiom "marching to a different drummer." Well, it describes Lincoln East High School graduate Andrew Vogt "to a T," according to Del Whitman.
Like the time Vogt stopped in Lincoln to visit his former high school band teacher and decided to go for a ride.
He did it on a unicycle.
"He kind of does his own
thing," Whitman said, laughing.
Vogt always has — especially with his saxophone, said the Lincoln East teacher.
"He was kind of a cool cat, a real jazz type," Whitman said, remembering the high school-age Vogt. "He had a funny, quirky sense of humor. He made people laugh.
"But more than anything, when people heard him play his sax, their eyes got real big."
Vogt, 35, is back in Lincoln this weekend at the behest of his alma mater. His band ZARO will play
Saturday night in East's auditorium for the school's 40th anniversary celebration. The free concert is open to the public.
"It's terribly exciting, and it's going to be great fun," said Vogt, who graduated from East in 1989. "It's really cool for me to bring back my main group right now and play at the place where I played my first solo as a kid. If the same audience is there, that'll really be surreal."
