Music Authority Family Newsletter - March 26, 2019 This is Our House This is Our House My favorite moment from last Friday's show, "It's My Pirate Ship," was the very last song.  There's something special about standing on a stage, looking out at a sea of faces (over 200 of you) that are clapping in rhythm and singing along with the performers.  Most of you don't know the story behind that song, or why we do it at the end of our shows.   Let me share it with you. It was after June's Rock Camp last summer.  Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, a few loved faces at Music Authority were moving on to other things.  This left many students feeling hurt and abandoned.  July's Rock Camp comes along; the theme is Baseball songs.  Songs you hear at games, songs about the sport, songs you know from Baseball movies. "This is Our House" by Bon Jovi was one of the songs on that set list.  Before that camp, several parents had already mentioned it would be nice to close every Music Authority show with the same song.  Something of a theme for the Music Authority family.  A few songs were tossed around, nothing fit. Then Rock Camp happened.  Several families reached out, this is the song, this is what the Music Authority family is all about.   We made it our theme song for 2019.   To the students and families at Music Authority, the anthem stands for family.  It's about working hard, making it to show night, and rocking out with a great performance.  It's about solidarity; about students standing together to be successful; about supporting each other and cheering each other on to shine.  It's about pride in Music Authority and pride in our "team." Music Authority might not be a sports team, but we are a family.  We're a family who will stand up for each other, cheer for each other, support each other, and encourage each other.  We're a family who let young, first-time performers borrow our courage until they build enough of their own.  We're performers who will reach out a helping hand when asked.  We're teachers and students who will be there, no questions asked, when the community needs us. We are Music Authority Family and we're glad you're a part of us. #MusicAuthorityFamily #beyondthemusic   Click Here to Log In to Your Lessons Account Introducing Music Authority's Beyond Music Authority's first Showcase Band was Music Authority's Rise, starting on April 1, 2014.  It's original members, Jake Lanni, Sydney Cameron, Brayden Sudduth, Drey Woodson, and Harrison Block represented Music Authority with pride.  The band changed members annually until it disbanded in September of 2017.
