Montuca, Marley and Middle-school Oh My

Portraits from Margarita, 9th grade... completely unrelated, but cool nonetheless.

The  SJBS middle school integrado class has been gearing up for their big debut with Honduran reggae/ska/world legends, "Montuca Sound System."Montuca Soundsystem will be playing a benefit concert at EIS (the large private school in San Pedro) and will donate all of the proceeds to BECA!

The best part of this deal though (to the middle schoolers at least...) is that they invited the middle school to sing "No Woman, No Cry" with them. Most students are pumped, a few are terrified, and a small enclave could care less (but lets be honest, some of them don't experience true forms of excitement that don't involve fire or soccer).

Here is a little  video preview into rehearsal with the 7th graders:

Here are the 7th graders singing "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros if you haven't seen it yet:
