Hingham Students Invited to Perform Pop Star's Hit Single

The South Shore Conservatory  invites all middle school students from Hingham and the South Shore to kick off the Spring season by rocking out with their friends and perform the popular tune, Home by Phillip Phillips.

Students from grades 6-8 are invited to take part in the SSC's "Middle School Monster Jam," which will be held Friday, April 12 from  7 - 9 p.m. at the South Shore Conservatory in Hingham.

SSC media spokeswoman Michelle McGrath said the event is expected to be loaded with performance tips and microphone techniques and all musicians - horns, winds, strings, rhythm and voice.

Students will engage with instructors to learn how to play Home by Phillip Phillips and then parents will be invited back to watch them perform, McGrath said.

Anne Smith who coordinated the event in the past said the conservatory is reaching out to middle school kids, by giving them popular music to play.

"Kids who play classical instruments, don't often think of themselves as being able to play popular music," Smith said.  "We'll give them a fun song to play and arrange it for every part."

Performers should bring their own instruments (drum kits and sound system will be provided).   

Registration for this event is recommended by April 10, and admission is $5 per performer, parents are admitted free for the night-ending performance.
