Ratamacue Update

March 12, 2015  /  Jude St George

Well things have certainly been busy here at Ratamacue with NYSSMA prep in full swing, many of our students are involved in their school musicals, and new students coming on board and entering the incredible world of percussion!  Very exciting on all levels!  To add even more adventure..... 8 Ratamacue students performing as an ensemble auditioned for the Star Shine Youth Talent Search and won the opportunity to perform at Patchogue Theatre on Sunday, March 22nd, 2015 at 3pm.   This is no ordinary percussion ensemble however.....this is the first ever (for Ratamacue) Garbage Can Ensemble performing "Stinkin' Garbage" by Ed Argenziano!!!  Check out the video on our facebook page:  www.facebook.com/RatamacueEastNorthport .... Congratulations to our students (in order of appearance) :  Justin, Dan, Luke, Erica, Andrew, Brandon, Sean, and Luke!!!!!!
