Kids from the Boys & Girls Club Visit UWO


As a part of our connection to the community, Derrick Holt, the Director of Digital Audio Arts for the Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay, has paid us multiple visits with kids over the course of the past year. Each time, we have worked on a different project in the recording studio, which has included recording a radio commercial.


Some topics include learning how to perform in the studio, and what kinds of careers can be pursued in the current Music Industry. The kids learn that so much is possible if they devote the energy and passion to their pursuits.


On their most recent visit, the kids and students collaborated in class, and they decided to record a short song together. They performed "ABC" by Jackson 5, and featured the Boys & Girls Club kids providing vocals while the students played various live instruments.

The experience was a blast, and an excellent learning opportunity for not only the BGC kids, but for the students in order to learn collaboration and leadership. I look forward to keeping connected with the BGC and other important connections within our communities. Here is the final result!
