Everybody ready We were doing, good actor, bad actor.

Just showing the kids what it looks like to be really into your performance and showing kids what it looked like when you're not really into your performance and just getting their opinions and their input as far as if one of the youth, if they were not doing what theyre supposed to do as far as showing their inner skills, the other youth will come and uplift them and let them know like, hey, we're here for you.

You're not doing this alone.

You choose I like learning about how the song is, like, what a hook is, and I like, like, just learning about the raps and stuff.

My favorite thing has been just being together and stuff Writing songs and singing together and grading each other.

I'm hoping at the very least, they walk away with a lifetime of of creativity and love of music and forming those bonds with other kids and other people.

Our love runs deep with everything that you do.
