Yep... BAND CANOPY RED The band name Canopy Red may still be making its way through the Christian rock ranks, but the threesome's made several intentions very clear. Bottom line, these are three fresh-faced but remarkably cohesive players from Tallahassee, FL whose goal is to impact this generation with the Gospel, coupled with undeniable musicality that brings to mind bands like the Fray, Sanctus Real, Relient K, The Afters and other like-minded modern rock innovators. RYAN HARVELL (Left) Ryan is a founding member of Canopy Red and has been letting God use him in a powerful way as his musical abilities increase. He loves leading worship and encouraging others to be open to God's leading. In addition to music Ryan is an avid video game fan and particularly enjoys playing Super Smash Bros. He loves playing paintball and ultimate frisbee with his friends and is also partial to the occasional game of basketball. FORREST KRAZIT (Middle) Forrest was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida. He started playing music when his dad brought a guitar into the house at the age of 12. In addition to music he is a student at Florida State University majoring in creative writing. An avid sports fan since his first time playing tee ball he loves playing whatever sport he can get his hands on. He is a self proclaimed barbecue and soda connoisseur and is trying his best to be more like Christ. JOSH SCHMIDT (Right) Josh first began learning guitar at the age of twelve. He quickly fell in love with playing music and is passionate about writing and listening to music. His listening tastes include everything from alternative rock to folk and even hip-hop and pop. In addition to music Josh enjoys baseball, soccer, photography and traveling. He is also an aspiring collector of Legos and enjoys reading. Josh has a passion for missions and tries to show the love of God through his actions with anybody he meets. 3 WHAT TO BRING • Linens for twin sized bed, towel, pillow, blanket • Water bottle you can refill and carry with you • Closed toe, closed heel shoes (for outdoor activities) • Bible, notepad, and pen • Toiletries such as toothbrush and shampoo • Winter clothing (see dress code below) • Jacket • Dark colored “Night Game” clothes. • Disco clothes for Saturday night. • 1 gallon of 2% platypus milk...
