Brendon Urie
Panic! At the Disco

(Speaker: Brendon Urie)
Richard Matta is one of the main reasons 
I'm here today. He taught me everything when
I thought I knew nothing. 
And that made every difference.  
 
It's so important to have those people 
around you, whether they're teachers, 
or family, or friends. Everybody needs
somebody to show them that the 
things you're passionate about and the 
things you really love to 
do can create who you are.

Panic! At the Disco is seen on

Richard Matta
Brendon’s Music Teacher

(SINGING) 
Had to have high, high hopes for a 
living, shooting for the stars right now, 
and make a killing. Didn't have the 
time, but I always had a vision, always had.  
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
He was enthusiasm. 
He just brought energy into it. 
And he made it fun.  
 
[PLAYING DRUMS]  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
He built up a confidence for us 
that we never had before as kids.  
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
He and I connected. 
And I realized that he had extraordinary talent. 
I couldn't wait to see Brendon come in 
every day, just to hear him play. 

(IMAGE)
We see Nani and Boyd Urie in their 
home, and then we see Brendan and 
his teacher playing music in high school.

Nani & Boyd Urie
Brendon’s Parents 
 
(Speaker: Nani Urie)
When I saw the two of them together, 
it's like this glow that starts from 
within their heart.  
 
[PLAYING JAZZ] 

(IMAGE) 
We see Brendan Urie on camera, 
and then we see concert footage. 
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
To have that special connection 
made all the difference.  
 
[CHEERING]  
 
[SINGING] 

(IMAGE)
Brendan Urie enters a Boys & Girls 
club and interacts with the people there, 
and then we see the Las Vegas sign and 
Brendan Urie speaks to the camera outside 
the building. We see shots of neighborhood 
children playing, and then we see him 
enter the building and greet Andy Bishell.

Andy Bishell
President & CEO, Boys and Girls Club 
of Southern Nevada 
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
I knew working with State Farm was 
going to be big and we were going to do 
great things. I didn't know it was going to 
be this great. When I met the kids in Chicago, 
we got to see the Notes for Notes. 
That was eye-opening to me. 
And I'm bringing it back to my hometown.  
 
I am feeling a wave of emotion of good. 
I just-- I'm excited. Today, we're introducing 
the first ever Notes for Notes in Las Vegas. 
This is not far from where I grew up. 
So this is a special neighborhood.  
 
It's all coming around. I get to pay it forward 
in the way it was paid to me as a child. 
So man, this is-- this is everything today. 
This is going to be great.  
 
Andy?  
 
(Speaker: Andy Bishell)
All right, Brendon, yeah. 
Welcome home.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Thanks. Let's get right into it.  
 
(Speaker: Andy Bishell)
Yeah. 

(IMAGE)
We see several adults in a music room,
including Phil Gilley and Brendan’s parents. 
They look at a laptop with music software on it.

Phil Gilley
Notes for Notes ® CEO/CO-Founder 
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
I've been brainstorming--  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Let's see.  
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
--on some things here. 
These are the things that will get them 
into that headspace of, like, having a vision.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Dude.  
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
So--  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Yeah, buddy. That's where my 
foundation came from, Highest Hopes Foundation. 
It was the idea you don't have to settle for 
anything less than the best. 
Just keep your hopes all the way up.  

(IMAGE)
Young people come into the music room, 
and react with enthusiasm at the announcements. 
A video that accompanies the announcement 
appears on a large screen. 

(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
He embodies that energy of what it means 
to be giving back. We've started something 
really special here. When we open these doors, 
like, it's just going to explode with music.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
I have a feeling that they're going 
to be excited. I know I am.  
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
We actually have a really special surprise 
we're going to announce. Because our 
organization, Notes for Notes, with the 
help of Brendon and his foundation, 
Highest Hopes, and State Farm, right 
where you're standing, we're going 
to build a fully equipped, staffed 
professional recording studio.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Legit. Fully. Fully professional.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
My best teacher I ever had, 
his name is Richard Matta. 
He knew that we loved music. 
And he cultivated this community for us 
to build that passion. So that's really 
what I want to give back.  
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
Think. 

(IMAGE)
Richard Matta enters the room, 
and Brendan Urie reacts with surprise. 
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Oh, Mr. Matta.  
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
When I say on 2!  
 
[APPLAUSE]  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
This man is everything. All right?  
 
(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
Having people like him, and it's clear 
the impact he's made in Brendon's life. 
And that's the same kind of impact we're 
going to try and make with this studio. 

(IMAGE)
We see Richard Matta and Brenden Urie 
embrace, and then we see Phil Gilley speak. 
The students begin experimenting with the
equipment. Richard Matta and Brendan Urie 
converse, and Richard Matta motions to indicate 
a circle. Brendan Urie’s mother 
wipes a tear at their reunion. 
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
Now, the fact that you're bringing it to kids--  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Full circle.  
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
Talk about a full circle. I love you.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
I love you.  
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
Yo.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
And it's in Vegas. I mean, this is 
where it all got started.  
 
[PLAYING GUITAR]  
 
[PLAYING DRUMS] 

(IMAGE)
We see everyone in the room begin 
trying out the instruments and equipment. 
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
Yeah!  
 
(Speaker: Unidentified teenage 
girl in pink T-shirt)
It's crazy, like, seeing my club 
getting rebuilt into something better.  
 
(Speaker: Unidentified teenage 
girl in gray T-shirt)
For him to come back and make the 
time for us, it just shows that, like, oh, 
wow, he cares.  
 
(Speaker: Unidentified teenage 
girl in pink T-shirt)
He didn't forget where he's from. 
He's had someone to look up to. 

(IMAGE)
Brendan Urie’s parents, 
Boyd and Nani Urie, are seen.

(Text on screen)
Boyd & Nani Urie
Brendan’s Parents 
 
(Speaker: Boyd Urie)
I see him affecting the lives of so 
many people for good. And I just-- I tear up.  
 
(Speaker: Nani Urie)
All these kids are going to be filled with wonder.  

(IMAGE)
Phil Gilley is seen speaking. 

(Speaker: Phil Gilley)
Youth will walk through these doors, 
and they'll find everything they need 
to be able to accomplish their dreams. 

(IMAGE)
We see shots of the kids playing instruments 
and the adults interacting with them. 
 
(Speaker: Richard Matta)
Who knows when that spark is going to hit? 
It can change lives. It does. 

(IMAGE)
We see a young boy playing the drums, 
and then we see other children playing. 
Then we see Brendan Urie speaking. 
After that, the whole group poses for a photo. 
 
(Speaker: Unidentified young boy)
I'll probably make my own band of my own.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
State Farm has showed me amazing ways 
to activate yourself in your community 
through Neighborhood of Good. 
And it's not that hard. I mean, everybody 
can go online. It's so easy. 
And once you do that, 
and you just show up, something 
great is going to happen.  
 
(SINGING) 
Didn't know how, 
but I always had a feeling.  
 
(Speaker: Brendan Urie)
