SO much happening.

For the last several weeks, even months, our group has been busy busy with rehearsing, learning new breaks, rhythms, dance moves etc... Since the beginning of the school, the idea was that we would put on a performance for our deticated families and friends. A showcase sort of speak. The planning began a date was chosen and thus Cinco de Mayo Music festival was born. At first our group was the only group performance, but in the middle of it all classes joined and signed on to peformance with us. The students are very excited! We selected what we all think are fun songs, songs that will lift people up. That speak about everyone coming together as one.

It is important to teach the value of working together as a community. Of working with others and sharing that music is a universal language that all can relate to. The students, teachers and parents all seem excited for this event.

Not going to lie and say this has all been easy. Nothing in life is easy, you have to work extra hard and fight to be heard. We have of course been blessed with talented kids! People in our city and community of them, and have loved them. SO much so that they have been asked to perform all over tucson at different events. The kids love it!!!

Our vision is hope is to keep bringing people together through our music, drive and heart!

Crazy but sure to be magical!

We”ve been called crazy many times, but this time crazy fits this group pretty well. Well the directors anyway! Now this isn’t an insult at all.. We have been known to come up with some pretty out there ideas.  Most of the time we get the “Um if you say so “  look.  This time though we have a lot of support behind us.  These next 3 weeks are going to be crazy!!  We normally rehearse with our Samba kids Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.  But with our crazy ideas, we will also be working with,  two 5^th grade classes, two 4^th grade classes, a 2^nd grade class and two exceptional ed classes..   Crazy Right?  It might be for others, but for these two crazy directors that come up with crazy ideas it’s a dream!! Getting the opportunity to share the magic of music is truly a blessing. 

What started off as a small evening performance for the parents and families of Cub Club Samba has now turned into a full on music festival. The event will feature different types of music and styles.  As well as an amazing play that was written by teachers in our Primary Ex Ed class. It seriously is going to be a night to remember.


Even our program director thinks we're nuts! Bringing in all these classes. Plus having water added to one of the songs! Yes you heard right! Our very own version of water drums! The kids are really excited to add this to mix! 


We invite all of you to come join us for our Cinco De Mayo celebration!
