Just a few short months after Sidney High School’s graduation in 1975, David Shadoan loaded into a friend’s old Chevy van and headed for the west coast. He used to read the back of record albums and would take in all the information he could about the musicians. Though uncertain as to what capacity, Dave knew he would pursue music as part of his profession. He likely never imagined that trip would take him on a journey in which he would work with some of the music industry’s biggest names, nor did he know it would ultimately lead to his induction in his alma mater’s Hall of Honor.

Shadoan is set to be inducted Friday, April 12, 2019 with a 7pm ceremony in the Sidney High School auditorium, followed by a gymnasium reception, both of which are open to the public. Joining him in this year’s class are Tim Bickel (SHS 1967), Tom Clark, and Taylor Stayton (SHS 2003).
