Do you travel for shows or stay in the Charleston area?  Most performances are in the Charleston area. We have ventured outside of the area and are willing to travel. What has been the biggest obstacle for your band? We don’t see anything as an obstacle because this would mean something stands in our way and nothing does. What advice would you give to someone wanting to get into the music industry? You must make sure your business is organized and to have someone responsible for managing. You need to remember to always stay focused on being the best “you” that you can be. Never forget the reason the band is together in the first place; to make your music the very best. The ability to listen and receive constructive criticism is a vital piece of maintaining unity. What are your long terms goals?  We want to continue to create original music, travel as far as possible to bring the New Galaxy experience to many ears. We hope to inspire the coming generations of musicians to carry on our tradition. What has been your most memorable moment as a band? Of course winning the band competition was pretty memorable, but the feeling of playing in front of new people and catching their reactions is always special to us.   How can our readers follow your band?
