Whiz Kids' Key to Awesomeness:
The key to the Talt triplets' awesomeness is how even though they share a lot in common, each of them have their own unique perspectives and beliefs. While all three have had musical inclinations from the get-go, and share the same loving and supportive spirit that keep them joyful and thankful for their family and friends, there's things that set each apart.
Glover loves history and world events. He's always trying to keep up to date with the happenings of the global culture. Glover is a firm believer that without knowing the past and being present in today, there's no way to improve on the future.
Peyton is a gentle soul whose compassion manifests in her every action. She's a very caring spirit and is never a second too slow to give her time or effort to improving the lives around her.
Thayer is a competitor who loves to participate in any activity that presents a challenge. For Thayer, life is an every day adventure that grows and changes and pushes oneself to improve constantly.
Their unique qualities notwithstanding, it's the way the three of them come together and interact that makes them amazing. They all share and cooperate in a symbiosis, giving and taking in every situation. Whether it's their "Evening Dinner Theater" productions at home, , or even simple discussion on world events and the horizon beyond, the Talt triplets are a testament to how diversity helps us understand.
