Patrick is a remarkable young man who was born without eyes
and without the ability to fully straighten his arms and legs, making
him unable to walk. Additionally, two steel rods were surgically
attached to Patrick's spine to correct scoliosis.
Despite circumstances that seem overwhelming to you and me,
Patrick has overcome these physical issues to excel as a musician
and student. Patrick started playing the piano at the age of only
nine months, and also plays the trumpet and sings. He even
participates in the University of Louisville School of Music
Marching and Pep Bands with help from his father (Patrick John
Hughes), who tirelessly maneuvers his wheel chair through the
formations with the other 220+ members of the Cardinal Marching
Band. Patrick is usually a straight 'A' student, having received only
6 'B's' during his entire educational experience - up to and
including his junior year of college (3.9 gpa).
A virtuoso pianist, vocalist and trumpet player, Patrick has won
or finished very high in numerous competitions, as well as winning
awards acknowledging the circumstances he has overcome to
achieve these heights. He has been featured on ESPN, ABC-TV,
Oprah, CBS-TV, The Ellen Show, Extreme Make Over Home Edition,
FOX-TV, CSTV, NBC-TV, Million Dollar Round Table, The Grand Ole
Opry, People Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Star Magazine, and
many, many others. His first book, I AM POTENTIAL, is published
and available around the country/world.
Patrick has made appearances from California to Chicago to
New York and Miami and countless points in between, even
performing in Asia, Canada, South America and Europe.
MY NEW BOOK AVAILABLE OCTOBER 20th, 2008! I AM POTENTIAL by Patrick Henry Hughes with Patrick John Hughes and Bryant Stamford

CLICK HERE! WHY I'M NOT IN THE UL ATHLETIC PEP BAND - WHY I DON'T WANT TO BE - AND WHY YOU SHOULD NOT SUPPORT THIS GROUP!!
If we students all stuck together for just one season, this experiment in Athletics running our bands would end. Was your high school band run by the football coach? Just one season would prove the power of solidarity. We can show the AD he is not running our music programs! Athletic Pep Band was once described by ESPN as the UL geriatric band because almost no students participated.
Marching Band or Athletic Band. Please choose one or the other. If you are a band parent, this is not the band for your son or daughter to perform/travel with as it is composed of anyone willing to participate. College attendee/UL grad not required. No criminal background check. One just need a desire to play his instrument and travel with college students. Is this the educational experience you expect for your child at an accredited University?
Marching band is still an accredited course!
