Mason Taylor, Executive Producer

My name is Mason Taylor, I’m a senior, and this is my third year on staff at Lamplighter. I am a part of the editorial board acting as the WPLD Executive Producer. This means I write the script for the weekly broadcast, film the anchors, and edit the video segments.

One of my favorite hobbies is playing in the band at Dunbar. I play the clarinet, which I’ve been playing for seven years now. I’m in Wind Symphony for concert band and one of the drum majors in the school’s marching band. I really love band because I have a passion for music in general, and I’ve made really good friends and memories.

I’ll try my best this year to make the broadcast the best it can be and I’m so excited to see what I can accomplish and share with my school!
