Friday Night Band Camp w/ The BlackStar Bangas

Suave and the BlackStar Bangas at The Big Top

On Friday, April 22, 2011, Suave and the BlackStar Bangas rocked The Big Top in New Orleans for Friday Night Band Camp, an all ages event hosted by the 3 Ring Circus Arts Education Center. The all-ages event featured live music, art and crafts, and lots of fun for the attending parents and kids. Suave and the band even invited their younger fans on stage to dance and sing with them, something many parents couldn't wait to catch on film!

Education and the arts go hand-in-hand, but as more arts programs are dropped or defunded from public education, it's important for parents, educators, and communities to support more live art interaction for our youth. Suave and the BFAM family are proud to be a part of this edu-tainment movement and hope to participate in many more events to come.

Thank You!
