Hey Desmond,

You'll want to focus on the last two lines. Your print statement is missing a semicolon and you'll then want to make band a String. 

String firstName = "Gordon";
String lastName = "Sumner";
console.printf("Hello %s", firstName); // Was missing a semicolon
String band = console.readLine("Which band?  "); // Was missing a String declaration
