High Philosophers Bring Coworkers Together Through Music

While their day jobs keep them focused on building projects, serving clients, and supporting operations, a group of talented employees is finding another way to connect with colleagues: through music.

The High Philosophers, a band made up of employees from various High companies, has become a source of entertainment, camaraderie, and company pride. Combining a shared passion for music with a commitment to teamwork, the group regularly rehearses and performs at company events, bringing energy and enthusiasm wherever they take the stage.

Among the band's members are two employees from High Construction. Greg Spaulding, High Construction's Vice President, serves as the band's lead singer, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every performance. Abby Hess, High Construction's Marketing Specialist, contributes keys and vocals, helping round out the band's sound. Together, they represent the diverse talents that High employees bring not only to their professional roles but also to activities that strengthen connections across the organization.

The band's repertoire includes a variety of classic rock, popular favorites, and crowd-pleasing hits that appeal to audiences of all ages. Whether performing at employee celebrations, company gatherings, or community events, the High Philosophers aim to create memorable experiences and bring people together.

For band members, the experience offers more than an opportunity to perform. It provides a creative outlet, encourages collaboration, and allows employees who may not otherwise cross paths to build meaningful relationships.

"Our jobs connect us professionally, but music connects us personally," said Abby Hess. "Playing together has helped us learn from one another and have a lot of fun along the way."

The High Philosophers also reflect a broader commitment to employee engagement and well-being. By supporting activities that allow employees to share their talents and interests, the organization continues to create opportunities for connection, creativity, and collaboration.

As the band looks ahead to future performances, members remain focused on what inspired them from the beginning: a love of music and a desire to bring people together. Whether rehearsing after work or performing in front of colleagues, the High Philosophers continue to demonstrate that teamwork can take many forms, and sometimes it comes with a guitar solo.

Every performance serves as a reminder that the people behind the organization's success bring a wide range of talents to the stage, both on and off the job.
