It's time once again for Making the Rounds with Kevin LaRose!

Each Thursday morning at 3:00, Interlochen campus safety officer Kevin LaRose plays a musical instrument somewhere on our campus.

Where's Kevin, and what instrument is he playing?

Last week, Kevin played the bass guitar in the lobby of IPR (which made us all laugh heartily!).

Watch this week's video, below, and make your guess!
