Evan, the son of Norman and Jessica Hall of Oak Bluffs and Saskia and David Vanderhoop, of Aquinnah, is a senior at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. He will be attending the Berklee College of Music with a major in music composition, quite an achievement for an ambitious young man who has been involved with music for all of his young years, has performed hip-hop across the miles, has taught his own hip-hop classes, and plays in a band.
