Fall Tour

It was a very busy fall for the band performing our Anti Bullying school show to thousands of students from small towns in Michigan to the busy streets in Queens, NY...to the beautiful mountains of VA and TN.  I will start writing down some fun memories soon. Here are some links to school websites with pictures and comments.

A Joyful Noise at Joy School

On May 25th we rolled into Joy School in Michigan City, IN.  The show was sponsored by the local chapter (Delta MU) of Tri Kappa, a wonderful Indiana organization sponsoring arts and education projects.  Thanks !  I heard some wonderful singing from the students and some pretty amazing air guitar moves too!

Makin' Waves in Wisconsin

The band traveled to Wisconsin twice in two weeks for Anti Bullying school shows. On May 19th we played at North Park Elem. in Racine. IT WAS LOUD !! Over 400 k-5th graders singing together in a gym is not quiet.  On May 24th we went farther up the coastline to Sheboygan to Longfellow Elem.  A big school in a nice new big gym. Rafael (the bass player) was sporting some cool Elvis shades, with sideburns and all.  The crowd was yelling Elvis, Elvis!!  but later we found out one of the 5th grade boy volunteers jamming on guitar with us was actually named Elvis...how cool is that?  That young man was born to rock..and it showed!  Nice moves.
