Passing Strange Auditions open to ALL Beacon Students
Written by B'DAT on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 12:14:15 EST:

B'DAT is looking for rock and soul singers and musicians for our upcoming production of Passing Strange!

Passing Strange is a play within a rock show that chronicles a young black guitarist's journey to self discovery. Along the way he screams in a punk band, parties in Amsterdam and rocks the performance art scene in Berlin.

We need YOU to make it happen.

Music Work Shops Continue today, Monday February 24 and are open to ALL Beacon students.

The BAND is also IN the show, so we're actively recruiting guitarists, bassists, drummers and key board players who are interested in performance art, developing their stage chops and playing an exciting rock, blues score.

Auditions February 25-27, 2014

Please come see Ms. Cimato if you have questions.

Beacon Host Families Needed
Written by Lev Moscow on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 12:12:47 EST:

Do you want to host an Italian student for a week next October? 17 students (and 3 teachers) will be coming from a high school in Florence, Italy from October 3rd-12th and they will need host families!

We are looking for Beacon families who can offer a bed to one or two students and provide breakfast in the mornings and dinner at night. The Italian students would then accompany Beacon students to school during the weekdays.

We may also be taking a trip to Florence in April 2015 as part of an exchange, if you are interested please contact Lev Moscow asap at lmoscow@beaconschool.org
