D.J. Burns isn’t your average-sized musician.

At 6-foot-9 junior gets plenty of stares and comments each time he performs with the York Prep concert band.

“It is always really awkward because when I am walking back after we perform, we have to walk in front of the crowd. People are like that guy is too big to be with these kids,” Burns joked.

Burns plays up to four instruments with his main one being baritone saxophone. He also plays alto saxophone, piano and bass guitar.
