Wareham Boys and Girls Club takes the stage in Onset

Aug 15, 2018

Members of the Wareham Boys & Girls Club rocked the stage at the Onset Bandshell on Tuesday, Aug. 14 for their third annual summer concert.

Previously a part of the Wareham Boys & Girls Kukoo Gala, this was the first year that the kids had a stage all to themselves thanks to the Onset Bay Association.

The young musicians and singers practiced for the concert with the help of the Friends of Onset's Budding Musicians. The Friends oversee the Boys & Girl's Club Summer of Fun Music Program, which teaches kids how to sing and play as a part of a drum circle from July to August.

The kids, ages 6 to 13, learned alongside professional musicians who volunteered their time through the Friends.

"Events like these are what we're all about," said Club Director Kenny Fontes. "We're incredibly grateful to our staff and volunteers who make it all happen."
