Staff Talent Shows Had Plenty of Beautiful Music
The Staff Talent shows help the first week of each session are always entertaining, but this year there were particularly good music acts, including the traditional Music Staff opening numbers. We start with those here, and then move on to all the other great musical surprises!
Hey Beber - Take a Hint!
Sometimes ya gotta just come right out and say what’s on your mind. These Senior Ramot campers decided that if the want to have a couple of their fave head counselors, Izzy and David, as Pio leaders next year… they gotta put it in video form and show it to all of camp.
With production and keyboards by Toby, and lyrics/vocals by the rest of the gang, this is as catchy as it is lyrically meaningful!
Stinger on My Step Is Video and Song is More Fun than the Subject Matter!
With infectious rhythms and playful verses, "Stinger On My Step" ia a rap track that's sure to tickle your musical senses. What sets this track apart is its youthful charm, recorded by none other than the talented young artist, Bennett. As his lively lyrics and vibrant energy take center stage, you'll find yourself grooving along to the beat and his amazing talent. Don't get stung!
Try You, Try Me, Try it Together

K1 Writes and Records Their First Hit!
After the success of two talent show performances, the K1 Direction snuck into the recording studio to record their self-written song: “Right Here Right Now”. Co-written by Jacob and Will (as well as drums and piano played by them respectively), bass from Charles, and vocals from Liam, their manager Levi decided that their song will be the next hit, releasing it exclusively to Beber Rocks. We invite you to sit back and rock and roar with K1 Direction.
Explore Beber Camp in “Beber Rings”
Georgia and Eliana sang about all that Beber Camp has to offer in their re-written version of Taylor Swift’s “Paper Rings”. From the farm to the challenge course, and the aquapark to the pool, “Beber Rings” highlights what makes Beber special, and better than other normal camps.
Look at What Makording Studio Does!
Aaron, Samantha, Hank, Ari, Anton, and Eden share their favorite things they do at camp with a parody to Taylor Swifts “Look What You Made Me Do”. They also filmed an amazing music video and had a fun time doing looping exercises.
Guitar Building Shrunk! It's Uke Making for Us!
We ran a ukulele building hobby in our last week of camp, and Rotem and Sam made the most of this collab between Music and Arts&Crafts departments - with Rotem creating a floral decor, and Sam sticking with his CIT time-theme (while also helping Rotem with hers as a goo CIT would!)
We can’t wait to strum em for ya next summer!
Ari Prays Before He Brings Home the Dough!
Ari takes the camp classic prayer, the hamotzi, and braids his own twists into it. From designing and playing his own beat to writing his own rap, he proved that he has glu-tons of skill. He played with vocal dynamics, using his loud voice to challah out “amen”. Now that he has finished rapping, we can feast on his music.
Makording Studio Sings a Song from a Galaxy Far Far Away!
K-14IO (consisting of Jacob, Will, and Asher) redubs the Star Wars Main Theme to retell the tragic fate of Anakin Skywalker, as he succumbs to the dark side. Through captivating vocals, precise drum beats, and keyboard skills that make Figrin D'an and Max Rebo seem obsolete, K-14IO entered hyperdrive to write and record their song.
Nothing Beats Jacob's Beats
Ringo Starr? Meg White? Roger Taylor? Never heard of em.
That’s cuz Jacob brought a drum kit into the recording studio to redub classic rock songs. No one could stop him when adding tambourine, cowbell, cajon, cymbals, and drums to Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now”. He then used his above-basic bass skills to combine bass and drums to The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army”. Finally, the culmination of his hard work came together in The Beatles’ “Come Together”.
Check out these tracks below with a REAL drumming legend behind the kit!
The iBrows Prove Jon did NOT Ruin Music
Our Judaics director had a title for a hobby in mind, and when that title is “Jon Ruins Music” a title is good enough, you know the rest will sort itself out.
And it did - the campers in the hobby picked the classic flagpole song “Tucked Away” as the object of their ruin, and broke it into three distinct sections - punk, rap, and jazz. Our Beber tradition will never be thought of the same way again!
Here they are performing it live at BeberFest 2023!
Mustache Maniacs' Mailbox Melee
Mustache Maniacs started as the result of a dramatic rock band's split because of a really deep discussion on the presence of a mustache. The band consists of Ellie who rocks on the drums, Ruthie who just picked up the bass, and Sylvie smashing the keys, with their fearless leader Violet on vocals.
A Mustache Maniacs performance is not just a concert; it's a full-fledged theatrical experience. The band's members adorn themselves in vibrant mustaches, embracing a new form of rock and roll inspired by their mustached mailbox, Jeff. Listen to their new hit that tells the story of said mailbox down below, with hand written lyrics below that!
Fine Arts Fest Rocks Beber Camp Once Again!

SEE AN ENEMY - The Story of Us
MUSTACHE MANIACS - JEFF THE MAILBOX (Stacy Mom parody)
NO REFUNDS - SWEET CHILD O’ MINE
See a Friend? No... See a Foe?... See an Enemy
"See an Enemy," delivered an unforgettable performance filled with daring musical ambition. Drawing inspiration from a sea anemone, their name alone hinted at their cut throat quest for fame. In a moment that could only be described as pure rock paradise, the band performed Taylor Swift's "Story of Us", thus showcasing their musical prowess. New to the stage, Meredith (piano), who had never played the piano before, joined her friend Hannah (vocals) to create this iconic band. Their journey from humble beginnings and various debrief sessions to booking a major gig at Fine Arts Fest illustrated how passion and courage can take you far. This group left the audience eagerly waiting for the next chapter…
"Hey Mom" says Hello to Stardom
"Hey Mom," a dynamic rock band, effortlessly channeled the spirit of nostalgia with their electrifying rendition of "When I Come Around" by Green Day. With their own signature twist, Ari (vocals/percussion), Oreo (drums), Mari (vocals), Sylvie (piano), Ruthie (bass), Jacob (electric guitar), and Ellie (drums) breathed new life into this iconic track, capturing the essence of youthful rebellion and carefree energy that Green Day is known for. "Hey Mom" brought their own unique sound to the stage, infusing the song with passion and charisma. Their performance was a powerful homage to both their rock influences (the moms of the world) and the timeless appeal of Green Day's music. Check out the performance below!
