Dallas Stars music director Michael Gruber isn’t one for expecting things.
For instance, he didn’t expect himself to become the next Ivan “Pudge” Rodriguez when playing catcher on the junior varsity baseball team at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas back in the early 2000’s. But on a different note, he also didn’t expect to have bobbleheads resembling himself riding a unicorn or in the form of a centaur sitting on desks and trophy stands all across the metroplex.
And he definitely NEVER expected himself to be the music director for the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center.
