The classroom was graced with both fresh and familiar faces during the #BeatRhymers audition day at East Side Community High. Program Director Y? (@whynotshowlove) welcomed students joyfully with #connection, #cyphering, #freewrite, and #sharing of musical aspirations, concluding the session with a #flowing round of #2BarsAndPass. The room was full to the brim with enthusiasm, encouragement, collaboration, peace, love, and respect. We left supremely inspired, and in total amazement at the level of talent and creativity displayed by the youth we serve. The perfect start to a musical semester. Next stop - Funkadelic Studios!
