Today I actually went over to Gloucester High School with a photographer to get pictures of and talk to members of the concert jazz band The Docksiders. They are leaving for Hawaii at 3 a.m. on Friday and the editor wanted to get a picture of them packing up for the trip and getting ready to leave. Obviously, nobody is going to want to go to Gloucester High at 2:30 in the morning to get pictures of them leaving, so we went over today because they were receiving their new performance shirts. When we went over there, I heard them play a couple of songs--they are really good!--and then I talked to a couple of the kids to get their perspective. They all seem really excited. I couldn't believe it--they had been planning and fundraising for this trip for two years.. Through all the performances they have been doing, they managed to raise $65,000! They are doing three performances around the island of Oahu and then touring around to absorb the local culture.
Tomorrow, look out for my article on the front page!
