The Founder...
Ron Cuevas is currently a saxophone student at the Crane School of Music, where he is studying for his Bachelors of Music in Music Education. Before he came to school, Ron played in multiple local bands, some of which include: RNR (saxophone and guitar), Outrage (guitar and vocals), and Phoenix. At the age of 10 he began teaching himself guitar. One of his biggest influences is Neil Schon from Journey, but he has also been highly influenced by Trans-Siberian Orchestra as his inspiration for Potsdam Rock Orchestra. As part of PRO, Ron spends much of his time rehearsing, but also writing many of the transcriptions of the music.
The Dream...
Ron always had a vision in his head of playing in a rock band that was accompanied by an orchestra. When Ron was a senior in High School, the sight of rock band and orchestra came alive when he saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra perform in Albany, New York. That day he knew that someday, the Potsdam Rock Orchestra would be a reality.
