Ball in the House!
Posted Thursday, May 6, 2010 by PTA.
Clinton students were treated to an amazing cultural arts assembly today, thanks to the Clinton PTA and our Vice President of Cultural Arts, Jackie Lahey. Ball in the House visited our school and we were very lucky to have this incredibly popular group. Ball in the House is a five-man soul-pop/R&B vocal a Capella “mouth band” from Boston. With their extensive tour schedule (averaging 250 dates a year), Ball in the House reaches millions and is arguably one of the most successful indie bands working today. They have opened and performed with such artists as Gladys Knight, 98¬∞, Jessica Simpson, Blondie, The Temptations, Smokie Robinson, Kool & the Gang, and numerous others.
The band performs without any instruments although you would never know that if you heard them without seeing them.
Arts education is an important component of their touring schedule and they provided our kids not only with great entertainment, but with an inspired presentation about how they make their music and how they got started. They also offered many words of encouragement for those interested in pursuing arts education.
