Picture a golfer, and the sport that golf is. It is one of the quieter sports (even the announcers whisper).

Now picture metal music: blistering guitar, furious lyrics, and drummers who work their arms off on a daily basis.

Finally, picture a member of ASB: They are typically stellar members of the community, working to keep Rocklin High running, organizing rallies and dances.

Blend these three elements together, all different from each other in some way (golf and metal music practically being polar opposites), and you would have a good composite picture of Clayton Barnack.

He is a golfer, having been one for the past few years. He described himself as being “pretty good” at the sport, planning to try out for the golf team in the spring.

However much he enjoys golf, however, it is not his “biggest thing” that he does at school. That would be his involvement in ASB.

ASB is his “biggest thing” that he does at school by his own admittance, and his job requires a large amount of time standing up. He works as a technician under Jenna Green, more specifically, filming and working on electronics.

He can be seen filming special events with his phone, such as the homecoming lunch games and the homecoming rally itself.

Along with ASB and golfing, Clayton pursues his passion. That passion is music.

He loves music, loves it so much so as to say that the best thing that ever happened to him was when he “discovered Limp Bizkit.”

“It really opened my eyes to the metal and new metal genres of music,” he said, which have since become his favorite genres of music, his favorite band being the one that “opened his eyes,” Limp Bizkit.

He does not only listen to music, however. He also makes it, as a drummer for the past 8 years of his life.

He has many favorite songs to drum, one of them being “Welcome to Paradise” by Green Day. He had been wrangling with the tune for a few months, but “I finally got it down, and it’s awesome.”

Once he drummed along to a whole concert, Bullet in a Bible, again by Green Day.

“That was fun,” he said.

Clayton keeps all of these separate passions like a cymbal on top of its stand: they are balanced with an occasional crash thrown in for that special effect.
