Green Man 28: Kaleb Rodriguez on Finding His Beat


Listen Later

Kaleb Rodriguez—aka Green Man 28—has been chasing rhythm since he was three years old. From violin prodigy to snare drum captain, Kaleb's journey through music is filled with unexpected turns, relentless dedication, and a whole lot of personality.

In this episode, Kaleb opens up about:

  • Quitting violin to chase the "cool kid" dream of playing drums

  • Teaching himself marching snare in high school and transferring schools to level up

  • Joining UVU's Green Man Group and performing at NCA for the first time

  • The culture shock of entering the cheer world—and how he learned to "speak cheer"

  • His growth from rookie to captain, and what changed when new coaches (like me 😅) stepped in

  • What it means to leave a legacy after 4 consecutive national championships

We share laughs about miscommunications, unexpected challenges, and the wild journey that comes with blending band kid energy and cheer team spirit.
