| | Jamie Newitt - Class of 2002
When The Heavy Pets’ drummer, Jamie Newitt ’02, started high school as a freshman at Archmere Academy, he was “at a pretty inexperienced stage on (his) musical path, just getting started on drums.” That is, until he enrolled in a few music classes taught by Archmere’s then band director, Mr. Joe Santomauro. “He had a way of really lighting a fire and bringing out the best in his students,” says Jamie. “He made me want to get better on my own without ever having to say so.” For Jamie, concert and stage bands were classes that inspired him and fed his growing passion for music.
