Young Musicians Tour to Help Nonprofit

Several young musicians went on tour recently to help a nonprofit organization.

The musicians from the School of Rock in Wayne embarked on a four-day “Rockapocalypse Tour.” The kids played at The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., Fox Park in Wildwood and Webster Hall in Manhattan.

The tour supported Exoneration Initiative, a nonprofit that provides free legal assistance to wrongfully convicted persons.

“We piled some of our top students onto a bus and gave them a real taste of the rock ‘n’ roll touring life,” said Matt Sandoski, owner of the School of Rock in Wayne. “Their musical talents not only helped to support a worthy cause, they also had a fun and exciting experience that they’ll never forget.”

Six Wayne students participated: Sean Demerest, Claire Traynor, Aaron Anesgaart, Jake Mazza, Aaron Bisoondial, and Jon Collela.
