School of Rock had its premiere 18 years ago, making it old enough to graduate high school. nikonamerica spoke with the film's band members about their characters and their lives as the comedy becomes classic rock

I was 11 in 2003, and finding myself through my oldest sister’s love of classic rock. It was thanks to her that I developed a taste for, as Jack Black’s Dewey Finn would say, killer vocals and shredding guitar.

Two things are for sure: The characters these people—who are now in their late 20s and early 30s, my peers—played were shaped by the very fabric of their lives and, thus, their real life became inseparable from their character, integral to informing that on-screen development and, later, their off-screen futures. Who they saw themselves as when they were kids and how they’ve grown comes, somewhat, from the same place. Knowing that, the imagination trips we went on became that much more special.

When one thinks on the teachings of Mr. Dewey Finn, it’s obvious where his influence shines through most: Giving these kids the self-esteem they needed to soar. “I think she becomes Mayhrenate. I think she becomes me,” said the singer, who is releasing her second EPin the coming months. “I’m definitely comfortable in my skin, comfortable in my artistry. I would say she becomes the real me.”

“Like me, I think they would’ve stayed close to Billy, because Billy is the look—and who shines the light on the look but the lighting designer?” Infante gushed. “I also think they would’ve stayed close with Marco, the other tech person. There would’ve been a collaboration.” But perhaps the most extensive conversation I had, though, was with the only band member more reserved than Zack-Attack. “I think what ends up happening is, Katie, really, through being in the band School of Rock, breaks out of her shell. She realizes that she can emerge from the back of the classroom and be more in the forefront,” Reyes mused.

In Falduto’s eyes, “Freddy would still be our leader when it comes to sticking it to the man,” he added to his peers’ loving chorus. “No one did it quite like he did. I’m sure he’d be going head to head with all the drummers in the greatest bands. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him with an early entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.”
