Rock Star of the Week


Man, were we bummed we couldn't meet last week! Thank goodness Saturday is just around the corner. Hope you've been practicing for the big concert.

Drumroll, please...

The Rock Star of the Week is...Patricia Orozco!

This PCYO flute player has vintage taste, because she loves The Beatles! She thinks they rock, and I'd have to agree. Her all-time favorite song is Hey Jude, and if she could choose any song for PCYO to perform at a concert, it would be, Let it Be. Patricia likes to stick to the classics!

If she were to have any five people over for dinner, she would choose The Beatles and her parents. But...uh oh! Wait, there are four Beatles and two parents, making a total of (who knows their math?) six! Someone will have to get kicked off the table. Will it be Mom, Dad, or Ringo?

Check out her ultimate PCYO concert song, Let it Be:

Did You Know?
Beatle Paul McCartney (singer of Let it Be) has a daughter named Stella who's a cutting-edge fashion designer! Check her out right here: http://www.stellamccartney.com/

Don't forget to blog your answer for last week's trivia question in order to take home a brand new Hollywood tee shirt!

Now go and practice, practice, practice. See ya Saturday!

Hollywood Prize and Rock Star of the Week!

Hey PCYO!
Hope you've been practicing. The holidays are just around the corner, and that means a mind-blowing Christmas concert that will bring tears to the eyes of your parents. Keep up the hard work.

In the meantime, the first person to respond online with the correct answer to this trivia question will score a Hollywood tee shirt, size XL. If it doesn't fit you, it will make the perfect holiday gift. Here's the trivia question:

Q) Genius Albert Einstein not only played the piano, he played the _________.

First person to answer scores the Hollywood tee. Good luck!

Drum roll, please...

Our Rock Star of the Week is...Favian Mendez!

This 12 year-old trumpet player has Slipknot on the brain! His favorite band is Slipknot, his favorite song, Before I Forget, is by Slipknot, and if PCYO could compose a song together, he wishes it were Before I Forget. Now, for the burning question...if he could invite anyone to dinner, who would it be? Slipknot?

No! Barack Obama! That's it. No one else. No Slipknot. Although I'm sure our future Mr. President would make excellent company.

Check out Favian's favorite music video right here:

And if you think Favian's trumpet is cool, this guy plays nose trumpet!

See you Saturday at noon!

Spotlight on...Robert Regan!


What's up, PCYO?

The new Rock Star of the Week will be announced this weekend, but until then, we have a spotlight on...

Wait! Drum roll, please...Robert Regan!

Because sometimes the old people, er, I mean, the instructors, should share the limelight for all their work. Besides, wouldn't you be jealous if you couldn't be a rock star? I set up a little interview with the goofy tall guy. Check it out below!

Q: Is it true you love to eat Bugles and kimchee?

A: Oh yes, delicious. And once when I was 12, I ate chicken noodle soup with gummy bears.

Q: How was it?

A: It was the most disgusting thing I ever had.

Q: What's your most embarrassing moment?

A: When over half of PCYO came to rehearsal without their practice sheets!

Q: Kids, you heard it here first! What's your favorite color?

A: Blue!

Q: Why?

A: Because blue is the color of blood.

Q: That's true, oxygen makes your blood turn red.

A: That's why your veins are blue. Ahhh, veins are beautiful.

Q: Stop. You're scaring me. Who's your favorite composer?

A: First Camille Barnes-

Q: Aww...

A: Then Bach.

Speaking of Bach, there's no rehearsal this weekend, but on November 15th, Robert and rehearsal will BE BACH!
