Songwriting Scores a HIT!

Check out this amazing song written by Madison Bird, Molly Handelman, Delilah Lerner, and Zoe Berlinger, based on a poem by Maddie Bird, and sung by Molly Handelman.

We here at Beber smell Song of the Summer!

Debut of the Film Scoring Hobby!

The very first Film Scoring hobby ever at Beber Camp is in the books. Delilah and Tova from Ramot tackled two projects.

The first was to set Maccabiah highlights to music - they wrote high-energy music with several different themes, and it works perfectly.

The second is a study in contract between happy and sad music, and instead of using someone else's footage, they made their own movie highlighting all the great stuff at Beber Camp. And don't worry parents, the stuff you see over the sad music is not what the captions claim! Everything's great and the sun is ALWAYS shining at Beber Camp!

The Awesome Little Ladies!

The team in the Recording Stuido have been hard at work this week with The Awesome Little Ladies!

Hello! We are The Awesome Little Ladies, with Abigail (Abby), Allison (Ally), Olivia (Livi) and Lily. We are aged 8-9. Our favorite artists are Imagine Dragons, Taylor Swift (aka T-Swizzle) and Kungs and our favorite instruments are Guitar, Banjo and Piano. Our favorite animals are dogs, sharks, dolphins and bunnies.

Our song is called ‘We Knew We Were in Trouble’ and it’s about getting in trouble after we had a party in our cabin. At the end of the song, we apologize to Becky and we are allowed back to camp.

We think we’re going to rock the Beber Talent Show!

The final mix of 'We Knew We Were in Trouble' is below, enjoy!

Peace x

WE'RE BACK!!!

Tomorrow is the day that some new and old rockstars arrive!!! We are super excited to get to work! 

I personally have been at camp for 6 weeks now, making sure Crown Hall is ready to handle all that is awesome. It has started to have a makeover and we will be working through the summer to continue its transformation into the true home of music. 

This summer our team will consist of:

Hunter Borowick - A Rock god already at the age of 18. He will be heading up a lot of the Rock Band hobbies and Songleading. He is going to be rad!

Ethan Herman - From the UK, Ethan has a lot of knowledge in the recording stuido and can't wait to put together the latest hits for the summer with his partner in crime:

Charlie Box - Also from the UK, Charlie studied in the University of Derby (Where I also studied) and has just finished and is ready to apply all of his skills in making the hottest phat tracks that every camper will want to hear! 

Eddie Hochman - A true legend at camp, leading guitar lessons and helping run rock band. He is all for leading the next generation of rockstars! He has returned for his second year on the team and is so ready to be back!

Russell Wiener - This man requires no introduction. I am not worthy.

Myself, Will Jarvis - I can't wait for the campers to arrive, 5 years on staff, 3 as the Music Director. It is going to awesome and I am so lucky to have such a strong team!

See ya tomorrow!

Half-Eaten Brisket Takes a Bite out of Fine Arts Fest

View fullsize

Senior Ramot always offers up some fine musical talent every year, and this year was no exception, with the super-group Half-Eaten Brisket (feat. members of Upside Left, Adam Weber Grill, and others) rocking the Fine Arts Fest with their interpretation of the Coldplay/Beyonce song Hymn for the Weekend.

When asked about their history in an interview, they said: "We like cows and instrumental bicycles. Every single one of us has six jobs and we do not get tired. We like Tooth Tunes, and we respect those who put new bin liners in bins. ⅛ of Half Eaten Brisket is tongue tied. We got our inspiration from Mas Queso. This is a failed attempt at reviving UpsideLeft." Members include Griffdawg847, Zader, Scooby, Miker Hum, T-Swizz, E. Kole, E. Lit, and I-Man.

Check out their inspirational Fine Arts Fest performance below, and stream/download both the live mp3 of their song, but also the special studio sneak-out edition!

Their background may be mysterious, but their live performance headlining Fine Arts Fest certainly wasn't - as the whole camp was there pressed against the stage rockin' out! Check out their epic set below, and stream/download the live mp3 too!

Lucy Heller, Sophie Ehudin, Sarah Rhum, Sari Shade, Emma Kolesky, Molly Melinger, Nicole Kovitz, Alex Dayan, Carly Kabot

The Unicorns

We are the Unicorns!! We found our love for Unicorns when one randomly appeared at Beber Camp. This year we where inspired to create music and come together as a band. We rocked out the Recording Studio and set the microphone on fire!

Ten Dollar Bills

We are The Ten Dollar Bills! We came to rock the recording studio and we will never look back. This week we do a cover of Hamilton! We hope that everyone enjoys our music!

JWA

We are j.w.a and we are from Jerusalem, Israel. Some of our favorite things to do as a group are to sing, dance, make people angry, and have a good time with each other making music

The Little Illusions

We are small town girls, living in a lonely world. We like to listen to music. Also, we all love to wear shades and are totally radical! Some people in the band, want to be a penguins when they are older (which includes Alexandra The Tiger)! I hope everyone enjoys our lovely and inspiring music!

The Animals

We met at camp at the dumpster. Elan saw a frog, then Stephanie saw the frog and then Ali and Jack did too. So from there we thought why not call ourselves the animals and become a band to rock the world.
