Last month on Friday, December 1st, around 20 students and faculty performed 14 amazing musical acts to a broad audience of parents, faculty, and fellow students.. Some highlights included Sand in My Boots by Morgan Wallen from Alex Zhang (Form IV) and Can’t Stop by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from the Middle School Rock Band. TZ Snail, a Form IV student who attended and performed at the Coffee House, said, “I thought it was a great environment and that the people I performed with just enlightened the performance.” TJ Cannistraro, a Form VI student, also expressed similar sentiments. In fact, TJ performed five songs at the Coffee House with several different groups. When asked why he decided to do so many acts in the Winter Coffee House, TJ said, “The rock band obviously has two songs, so that was just part of the rock band. I always do a song with my sister because she’s also very musical.” To add to his impressive night, Ms. Allen invited him to join in on the bass for a blues song featuring her roommate, and he gladly agreed. Finally, he was talking with Alex about the Coffee House and since they already had a song that they performed for the Multicultural Alumni Partnership dinner, they decided to polish up the song and perform it at the Coffee House.
Both musical artists are looking forward to performing in the Spring Coffee House and the many musical opportunities that lie ahead of them. The performances have a wonderful environment where one can play to their desires, without anyone judging their skill level. The overall atmosphere and energy of the production is super infectious. If you have any interest in music at all or just want to have a nice environment to spend your night, the Coffee Houses are the perfect event to attend.
