An experience on stage

This year, Kasturirangan joined Student Produced Innovative Theater. While he performed in the group’s comedy sketch “Feed The Whales” this winter, he remains undecided on whether he will continue to act in the years to come. “My main focus is tennis; that's something that's been a part of me, and I want to maximize that during high school. But we'll see, based on my schedule [next year], if I can fit [SPIT] in. This year I enjoyed it, so I wouldn't mind doing it again next year,” Kasturirangan said.

A passion for law

Kasturirangan served as an understudy in mock trial this year and has been a part of the club since joining his freshman year. “The coach was one of my favorite teachers at the time, Mr. Mettenberg. I didn't really know what mock trial was, and I was a freshman, so I wanted to try new things. I also saw that some of my older friends joined, so I just gave it a try,” Kasturirangan said.

A devotion to music

In fifth grade, Kasturirangan found his musical passion. He plays bassoon in West High’s symphonic band, drums in West’s marching band and violin in West’s philharmonic orchestra.
