  The group also features former Daedream member Yashira!  They are appearing Sunday, Oct.22 at Vandome fromt 11 am to 4 pm.  Don't miss this fundraiser!

  She was under the weather that day and STILL sang like a songbird!  Great job!  Elsa is one of the 8th graders up for mentorship promotion this year!

  Thanks to Marcella Monk Flake, a long-time colleague and friend of our Executive Director, Ms. Francis, select members of Daedream were able to perform this evening at Woolsey Hall, and what an honor it was.

In attendance were Directors Kevin, Torey, Deandre and Ronald, mentors Marlon, JeVaughn, Tiyana and Frenchie, Junior Mentor Candidates Nelly, Savanna, Jay, Kayla, Taryn and Aissatou, and 7th grade lead singer, Julieanne. 

What an amazing job.  After the piece was over, Thelonious Monk called them back and they got a standing ovation from the audience.  I had to cut the post in parts.  The video was too large.  Watch below (choreography Kevin Kelly, Deandre Ward and Torey Robinson) ​

If we missed anyone, speak up!

Congrats to 4th grader, Chyna, 5th grader Taraji, 6th grader Alexa, and 7th grader Denzel who are all Daedreamers who were selected as students of the month by their teachers!!!

​Congratulations!  Keep up the good work.
