Hot103 FM radio personality and Program Director Ace Burpee visited Marymound School on December 2,  speaking to two classes about the everyday life of a radio host.

Students learned about his early start to the day (3:37 a.m. precisely) and the hours he spends reading up on current events to prepare for his show. He also answers over 150 emails every day!

Besides doing his popular daily morning show with Chrissy Troy, Ace selects the music to be played each day and makes many public appearances around the city for special events and charitable organizations.

Students had plenty of questions about his work, the contests the station holds, about calling into the show and they insisted he demonstrate how to do his famous “cabbage roll” move (see photo below). A few of them even gave it a try.

To their delight, Ace interviewed six younger students “radio style.” There was even an autograph session.

It was wonderful of Ace to take time out of his very busy schedule to come and spend time with Marymound young people. His down-to-earth, open style of communication made 
everyone feel comfortable with him
and he shared some fascinating facts about radio.

Ace also enjoyed his time at 
Marymound School:  “Thanks for having me. They were awesome,” he said of the students he met.
