AUG 21, 2017– Gatton Academy seniors J.J. Marquardt, 17, and Maddy Van Hulse, 17, were on an unexpected mission during the eclipse event at Shaker Village. “We’re actually here to shoot a music video,” Marquardt said. “It’s a secret so keep it on the down low.” The music video wasn’t the only reason they brought all the gear. Marquardt has an interest in film and Hulse wanted to take pictures of her friends. The event provided an opportunity that the teens might not have had otherwise. “I probably would’ve still gone out to see it but I might not have invested in the solar gear if I wasn’t already here with Gatton,” Hulse said.
