Sunburst House Band Chosen for WYEP REimagination Project

December 5, 2018

Sunburst House Band We’re proud to announce that the Sunburst School of Music House Band has been chosen to participate in this year’s WYEP REimagination Project. The project pairs some of the area’s brightest young musicians with some of the area’s most accomplished producers and engineers to put together an album of all original music. The kids will also get the chance to further kick start their careers with band photos, bios, and performances at the WYEP Summer Music Festival.

In addition to the House Band, a number of other Sunburst students including the Allies, Sloane Simon , and Eli Alfieri were selected as well. We’d like to congratulate all of the participants and wish them the best of luck with their writing, producing and performing!
