  The Band  
The musical force known as Judging Ronald was formed in the spring of 2005 by longtime friends Kris Kulsrud, Mike Allen, Brett Patterson, and Nick Ingles. All had been involved in music in their previous ventures but 2005 marked the first time that they would join as this group. In the blustery winter of 2004 where it was 65 degrees on December 16th Mike and Kris decided that they wanted to jam together and just let the ball roll. They soon added Brett on drums and Nick on Bass and Judging Ronald was born. Kris and Nick formerly of European Choir Trip met coincidentally on a European choir trip, whereas Brett, Mike, and Kris went to high school together. Awkwardly enough in some way each of us knew each other outside of our group of friends first.

Judging Ronald has set firm goals of selling out to the highest bidder at the earliest point possible but our main mission is to rock the world with cover songs

 
         
  Kris
[Lead Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Brass, Arrangements]
 
More commonly referred to as KK is a 5th year senior at UW- River Falls. Judging Ronald has been a lifelong dream or a college long dream whichever strikes your fancy. Starting on his road to fame with the group European Choir Trip with Nick Ingles and Michael Dvorak, it would be good to know he is a classical musician by trade performing with such ensembles as The River Falls Brass, Minnesota Valley Men’s Chorale, and the Minnesota Orchestra. Nevertheless, he is extremely grateful that he gets to rock the world’s pants every week through the amazing thing that is Judging Ronald Inc. With his mad hook-ups at a local music establishment Judging Ronald has become possible not to mention the fact that his home houses The JR CAVE where every young girls dreams come true or Lego’s we really can’t tell the difference.
 
         
  Mike
[Lead Guitar, Vocals, Bass, Keyboards, Arrangements]
 
Mike, a recent graduate of the UW-Eau Claire, enjoys music, reading for fun, camping where there's more wildlife than tourists, randomness, stealing, Brent's trampoline, and Jesus. Working at a software company, doing software company things, gives Mike the amazing ability to do anything on a computer - including the creation of the current JR website. Mike's and acoustic guitar player by trade and has grown up in band and choirs, but loves to absolutly rock people's face off with with the electric guitar.
 
         
  Brett
[Drums, Keyboards]
 
Brett, probably better known as Lego, recently graduated from Minnesota State University – Mankato with a degree in Mass Communications. We aren’t sure but somehow that gives him the power to rock the world with his drum set. Again a classical musician by trade he performs regularly with his church and formerly with the Wind Ensemble at MSU-Mankato. The creator of the original Judging Ronald site it was soon trumped for the newly redesigned site.
 
         
  Nick
[Bass, Vocals]
 
Nick is fairly new to playing an instrument, learning bass to rock the world through Judging Ronald. It is a little out of his realm, that’s right you might recognize the name, Nick Ingles is the same Nick Ingles that graced the world as Rocker Kid #2 in the 1999 epic, Drop Dead Gorgeous, and for 3 years as a reporter for Eastview High School’s, The Flash. The movie star of our group, Nick is all about the fans. Learning Bass as we go Nick lends his talents to Judging Ronald till death do us part.
