ROTATION RECORDS IS ON THE ROAD AGAIN... TO THE RONALD MCDONALD CAMP!

COMPANY TO MOVE ITS STUDIOS TO THE CAMP TO ENTERTAIN & EDUCATE CHILDREN WITH CANCER

Rotation Records, a full-service recording studio and live entertainment company that is known for its A-list clientele, is taking its show on the road, once again. Only this time, it isn’t headed for the big stages of a concert hall. It’s headed to the Ronald McDonald Camp, a program of the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, in the Pocono Mountains to bring a bit of music, cheer and love to children with cancer for the third year in a row.

Spearheaded by Rotation Records CEO and Owner Joe Staiber, President Tom Jensen and Rochelle Jensen, Rotation Records will join the kids at Ronald McDonald Camp from August 16 to August 22 to entertain and inspire more than 230 children.

During their visit, the Rotation Records staff will host live performances, supply music gear and services throughout the week and even provide recording sessions for the kids. This year, Rotation Records will host an opening night concert with Philly artist’s Mark Bolger, Danielle & Jennifer and Yufi Zewdu. Put on evening dances, throw parties and hold two talent shows for the kids. All of this happens with the sound, skills, lighting and professionalism that are offered to their professional artists throughout the year. Their Norristown based studio will remain open during that week, but with limited hours and staff.

According to Staiber, he was first introduced to Ronald McDonald Camp through camp volunteer Rosalie Hetrick, who was a teacher at Whitehall Elementary School in Norristown, PA.

“Thanks to our extensive work with the Norristown schools, we were introduced to the Ronald McDonald Camp,” said Staiber. “We were so impressed by the program that we literally packed up our entire studio, put it on wheels and drove it to the Poconos for the week. It’s the best week of our year!”

Cindy Candela-Ryan, Director, Ronald McDonald Camp said “Rotation Records brings RMC their vast professional knowledge, state of the art equipment and passion for music and entertainment. But what makes them truly special is their love for our campers and how they inspire our kids to express themselves through music. They make RMC rock! There’s nothing more endearing than a child’s huge smile after they’ve taken a leap of faith on stage or in the recording studio. We are thrilled to have Joe and his team with us for their third consecutive year.”

This year, the Rotation Records will even build a full recording studio on site at camp to record the kids throughout the week. But, most importantly, we are there to take their minds off their illness –even if it’s just for the week.

“It’s all about having fun and making each and every kid feel like a rock star,” said Staiber.
