“We’re doing what we love to help people, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that,” - Finn Westergren
"This is a locally sponsored charitable event for Worcester Public School’s Music Education. A lot of awesome bands are playing, and it’s just a great time. I’ve been loving all the bands that have played. My favorite was Tuna and the Wongs. Those guys killed it. I had an awesome time jamming out. They played some killer music. All the rest of the bands are awesome." -Chris Palace
"I personally think they’re the coolest people ever. Abe would bring his bass to school, and he’d have his little amp. He’d do a song before school. And, mind you, this is at like 7:00 in the morning, and we’re all dead tired. He’d play a whole song, and he’d let me play, and then, he’d show me up. When they put their minds to it, it happens." -Katey Buell
"I think that having bands, especially young people like us, play at a benefit like this is a good way to fundraise for music education. None of us would be here if we hadn’t played instruments as kids and has teachers help us. I think it definitely is a good outlet. You can always thrash on a guitar, instead of punching a kid in the face."- Androo Wang
"Music is a big part of how the world should rotate around. It keeps people going. It’s kept me going. Music can save lives. It can do literally anything. It can scale any heights. It can bring people together. Music is all I do. I just really enjoy it, more than anything. I’d rather be playing music than doing anything." -Justin Cosenza
"I am MC-ing with my friend Greg. I’ve known Greg for a long time. We’ve been filming for 6 years, and we’re both into comedy. I saw that Blair posted on Facebook that she needed MCs. I think it’s really awesome. It’s a small venue, and I think the place is perfect. It’s awesome that they’re benefitting the music programs in Worcester. As a musician, I’m very proud of that. I’m glad they’re doing that for the program." - Chris Barry

"I am a product of Worcester Public Schools, so I’m glad that I was able to come out here and support my music education. Without that first saxophone lesson back in fourth grade, I wouldn’t be here, and music wouldn’t be such a pivotal part of my life. I’m glad I was able to come here and help."
-Brian Tomlinson
"It’s important to have music, and arts in general, in education to let kids have that opportunity to be creative." - Abrahim Rouabhia
"They’re very snazzy, and I think they’re the best for doing it." -Justin Consenza
