Liv, Shai, Ari, Dalia, Naomi, Lily, Becca, and Norah accomplished so much this week, by writing about it we would not be able to give their music justice. From rap battles to belly buttons, every song speaks for itself. Please enjoy a look inside the minds of eight kesher campers!
Makor campers Charli and Reese plowed their way through a combination of cover and original songs throughout their five days in the recording studio. We have a selection of two songs that these amazing singers sung!
This past week, four cabins hopped in the studio for their cabin activity to create covers of some of our favorite songs. B3 “ruined” the song Into The Thick of It. B2 recreated the classic Lorax song Let It Grow in preparation for their talent show act. O2 sang their way through Taylor Swift’s Shake it Off. And G1 took turns recording two Broadway songs: Satisfied and Defying Gravity.
Check out the two performances that opened the Staff Talent Shows this summer from our legendary Beber Band!
Golden Mic recipient for Rocker of the Session busted out this incredible performance in the recording stuido proving that she earned that mic, and more. See other posts for live versions of this and more!
In a busy week of recording studio, Makor campers created a whole slew of different projects. Some of these projects include an original song by Samantha about Beber Camp, Gabriel’s original song about his studio collaborator Jack’s mishaps at camp, Grace’s Beberfied version of the hit song TikTok, and Aaron’s oringal song about a sneak out.
A group of campers came to the recording studio with the intention of ruining a song. Within an hour, they tweaked the instruments, tempo, lyrics, rhythm, key, and rhythm of Taylor Swift’s Love Story.
During a cabin activity, K1 rewrote the lyrics of Barbie Girl to reflect their Beber Camp experience. From different cheers to their favorite foods, this song has it all.
Inspired by this session’s musical, Makor campers Levi, Will, and Yuji decided to create their own version of the show stopping song Let It Go. If you can’t put your finger on what this song is about, how about you place it in your nose as you enjoy Pick My Nose.
This group of talented Makor campers wrote and recorded their own version of Rhianna’s Umbrella to express their desire to break the month long kosher fast at Beber Camp. Join the Unkosherables as they sing about all of the foods not welcome at Beber Camp.
Shai Morris took a recording of Beethoven’s Für Elise and added his own twist to it. He played multiple electronic instruments to infuse an even darker side to the classical piece.
Despite their camp-wide fame, the band I Agree With Pickle were the target of a new song. Campers Ari, Jacob, and Lily detail why they respectfully disagree with Pickle in a detailed TED talk, as they nitpick the band’s history (in a respectful manner).
Makor camper Liam Peck wrote and recorded a multitude of songs across genres this session in the recording studio. His funk song Brain Function will put you in the mood to grove. Pizza Man chronicles the story a hungry customer as they become a pizza man. Liam went acoustic with his song Power Outage, playing the Kahone and recording a music video in the tunnel. Finally, Liam left us wowed by his avant garde Big Project, which captures a zen feeling in a never before heard soundscape.
Beber’s got Talent was chock full o’ dance, film, diablo, and more, but two music acts really took the whole show to the next level! Enjoy Jack and Brody’s take on “Revival” (including an unbelievable costume change mid-song) and Lila’s absolutely stunning rendition of “On My Own” from Les Mis!
All the news from early August 2024 is right here, produced by our camper newscasters in our own newsroom! See below that for panel discussions!
Out 3 Beber Chat producers delved into many topics in our panel discussions in studio, so check out host Mattie interviewing Hailey, Bennett, Zach, and special guests. First up - movie and TV discussion! More coming soon!
PLUS - a very fun song/loop/beat created by our radio hobbies - a conversation including heavy use of the word “no” was captured and looped, with beats and synths added to turn it into a major bop! NO is a YES!
Getting to a music festival at 9am my be a hard sell, but not when you have talent like this! The camp went crazy for the three bands, each representing a different division.
Band of the Year 2023 Dipped got back together to prove they have more to prove, and prove it they did, performing Dancing Queen as the crowd sang along!
MORE BEING ADDED SOON!!
Fine Arts Fest remains Beber’s premiere showcase of hobby talent in the music and fine art fields, and the bands at session 2’s festival didn’t disappoint - see and hear below as Band of the Session winners Still a Mystery tackle a classic Tom Petty tune, Kesher’s own Party Pack lean into a legendary Journey song to get the audience pumped…
And Beber icons I Agree with Pickle screen their own Rockumentary film, followed by their first-ever live performance (more on that in their own blog post below!)
Rock on!
Dipped very casually showed up on the 2023 music scene and nonchalantly won Ramot Band of the Session. Not much has changed since then, despite almost everything changing.
2 former members dipped out to Pio year, and 2 dipped from camp. Then this year the band had to dip from every rehearsal hall they tried to play in, and their singer Lila had to dip out of half the rehearsals. Then 2 more members joined and quickly dipped.
In a surprise dip-in Beber music legend Ethan Kolesky joined the band to play his first BeberFest in 8 years.
And Gabi overcame her fears and dipped her toes into the lake - but not for long enough to actually take the picture that way.
Sylvie, Gabi, and Lila are Dipped. Their new single is the 1976 hit Dancing Queen. Listen here, and see their performance on the BeberFest blog entry above. Jump in y’all.
Beber Rocks is proud to present “I Agree with Pickle - a Comeback Story” - a rockumentary documenting the band’s triumphant return after a diss track against them lights a fire in their pickle hearts resulting in their first live Fine Arts Fest performance, and the first original song written by a Beber rock band hobby to make it to the big stage - “We’re Too Busy Pickling”.
Follow the Pickle Slay story from their humble beginnings 2 summers ago, to their law-breaking video in 2023, to rock stardom now. Through member changes, setbacks, and perseverance, I Agree With Pickle has cemented themselves as one of the premiere rock bands in Beber history. Get yourself some popcorn and soda and enjoy!
PLUS - listen to their studio recording of the song below!
And when you’ve watched and listened to the above… you can see how it all began… the original Pickle videos from 2022 and 2023 are below!
When O1 found out from Russell in Cabin Activity that Maddie had stubbed her toe 3.5 years ago and was still sad about it, they wrote an original song to help make things better. We’re just sure it’s gonna work!
O1 stubbing their own toes in sympathy. (ok not really but they were still very sympathetic.)
