The group started two years ago, and consists of members Kaleb Lenter as bass player, Luke McMahan as drummer, Thomas Ladwein as keyboardist, and Sean Sullivan as guitarist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI wanted to join a band so I could meet new people and learn how to sing in a different style than I\u2019m used to, and learn how to adapt to a different environment,\u201d Allen said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allen has been singing ever since she was six years old, when she struck an interest on learning the complexity behind it all. She explains that the best part about singing for her is being able to express herself, her voice, and the diversity of styles that come with it. Being a role model for young people who want to perform on stage is also a big reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their name, Clearance 78, has a humorous story behind it as to why they picked it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was actually on our first day of our photo shoot,&#8221; Allen explained. &#8220;Our first set of pictures were taken in front of the entrance to a parking garage and on top of the garage it said \u201cClearance 7\u20198\u201d. We\u2019d been arguing about a name all day, but we realized an opportunity. So we removed the apostrophe and that\u2019s how we became Clearance 78.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The music industry has drastically changed over the past few years, with hip-hop\/rap in the lead. But many people still enjoy classic rock, and so does Allen\u2019s band. They prefer to play songs by Queen, Elton John, Bon Jovi, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMy biggest influence is easily Freddie Mercury,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;He\u2019s created a light in the music world that I\u2019m obsessed with and his story has served as kind of a model for me. The entirety of my stage presence comes straight from Freddie\u2019s influence on my life.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Clearance-78_Mishi-Khan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Clearance-78_Mishi-Khan.jpg 675w, https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Clearance-78_Mishi-Khan-80x64.jpg 80w, https:\/\/update.midlandps.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Clearance-78_Mishi-Khan-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><figcaption>Clearance 78 members from left to right: Sean Sullivan, Luke McMahan, Hailey Allen, Kaleb Lenter, and Thomas Ladwein. &#8220;If I had to describe [the band] in one word, it would definitely be family,&#8221; said Allen.
