Musician:: a composer, conductor, or performer of music; especially : INSTRUMENTALIST

The very first definition of this word is "a composer." Warsaw has been host to many'a'musician if you are speaking in the "ability to play" means of the word, hovever Warsaw has not seen many true musicians when it comes to understanding and using musical theory. Most of the "musicians" around here sit down with their guitar and mimic what others have done (i.e. Keggy or Hendrix), this to me is amazing, but is still mimicing. When it comes to composing music the masses of Warsaw are blind.

In my opinion, the best musician that Warsaw High School has ever seen is Keith Priser (I don't know if I spelled that right, sorry if I didn't). Not only does he possess the ability to play instruments (yes that is plural) and is great at them, he also composes accual music, which consitst of sitting down with staff paper and putting the notes on the page. This to me is utterly oustanding and the mark of a truely great musician.
