Max Tripodi was my Middle School student teacher for band at HMS, and it dramatically transformed my school year. Mr. Tripodi is known for being an exceptional teacher, and his relatability to his students. He is a splendid musician, and at one point in the school year, he simply made it more exciting to go to school, whether it's that one chance you get to greet him, or just to get that ecstatic mood from him. Mr. Tripodi was both extremely respectful and humorous, he was practically a celebrity and for a good reason, he was extremely helpful & gave helpful advice at every possible chance he got. Memes like "The Kitchen" or "Maximus Aurelius Tripodium III: Duke of the Kitchen)" rose and made everyone's smile a little bit wider. During the entire 180 days of the school year, he was never caught mad for even a singular second, and that's why Mr. Tripodi is the greatest teacher ever, in existence.

Max Tripodi is more than just a musician; he’s a symphony of passion, rhythm, and dedication. As a percussionist and pianist, Max weaves melodies that resonate with the soul. Here’s why he deserves a standing ovation: Greco-Roman Charm: Did I mention Max’s regal name? Maximus Aurelius Tripodium III: Duke of the Kitchen. Yes, you read that right. Percussive Chopping: In the kitchen, Max wields his chef’s knife like a seasoned timpanist. Onions sizzle in the pan, garlic dances, and bell peppers join the percussion section. The rhythm? A syncopated beat of flavors. His Skibidiness at HMS: At Heritage Middle School, Max was so skibidi that he became a legend at the school. From my personal experience, his amazing perfomance of the Great Locomotive Chase was what led to HMS being shut down and turned into a railroad. Who knows what Max will cook up, whether it be in the kitchen or his youtube channel, he will remain a true skibidi sigma lord in Township of Washington

I have worked with maximus for a good deal now, with him acting above me as a student teacher at Heritage middle School. In my opinion he excels, not only in his pure skill of percussion and teaching, but also in the way of how easily it is to form a one-to-one connection with him. Every time I talk to him, we speak of profound subjects like what happened in the kitchen, or why he refuses to let me say his full Greco-Roman name (Maximus Aurelius Tripodium III: Duke of the Kitchen) I feel confident in the fact that he is one of the best musicians I have worked with in my years of experience.
