What makes Plugged In special is a commitment to including all students, regardless of their ability to pay or the costs associated with accommodating students with special needs. In this environment of compassion and acceptance, all students learn the power of helping others.

Since 2002 Plugged In Band Program has been teaching youth how to be in a rock band, the importance of using their music to make positive change in the world and instilling in them the confidence to do so. Plugged In is a welcoming place where young musicians can express their creative side, be nurtured, and learn to give back to their community.

One parent says, “My son has been involved in Plugged In for the last 5 years. Having done volunteer work my whole life, Plugged In is one of the most amazing organizations of which I ever been a part. This program transforms kids’ lives by giving them self-confidence, increased musicianship, and being responsible for making the world a better place. The goal is to teach ethics, empathy, and compassion locally and globally. The changes in these children are remarkable! They create a positive change in themselves and the world around them through their music. Music is the common language that binds these kids together. Plugged In is a family where the children truly care for and respect one another regardless of age, race, sex, income, or personal handicaps. Music transcends all boundaries.”

Beatlejuice and Friends has earned its reputation as one of New England's absolute best Beatles tribute bands. For almost 20 years Beatlejuice has been the #1 choice for Beatles fans looking to get their fix of the Fab Four. Faithfully reproducing some of the greatest songs ever written, Beatlejuice covers every era of the Beatles catalog and on to the solo careers of the boys from Liverpool.
