Our Music Makers! closed out the week with an unforgettable finale showcasing their fully produced original to a packed house. Families packed the room as each band stepped forward to debut the tracks they wrote, performed, recorded, mixed, and engineered over the course of the week. It was a true celebration of young artistry and teamwork.
The Methods (band members): Hannah, Sammie, Cash, Sidera, Max, and Trent
From the first brainstorming session to the final mastering pass, students experienced the full creative process inside a professional studio environment. Their confidence grew, their skills sharpened, and their musical voices came alive in ways that inspired everyone who attended.
This extraordinary week would not have been possible without the generosity of Bob and Dana McCutcheon, owners of The Vault, whose studio became a home for exploration and creativity. We also extend heartfelt thanks to our music and technical instructors: Bob, Liam Bieber, Brian Ammon, Noah D’Luce, and Brent Russell for guiding students through every step with patience, expertise, and enthusiasm.
Tito (band members): Dennis, Matteo, Ben C., Grady, Ayann, and Lukas
We are grateful as well to our guest speakers, Rob Deaner, Dave Hillis, and Greg Gordon, who shared real‑world industry insight and encouraged our young musicians to dream boldly and pursue their craft with confidence.
