On Wednesday, Nov. 27, the Music for a Cause club performed their first fundraising coffee house performance of the year during Hornet Block.
The club invited students to the performance which they held in The Quad, featuring songs from well-known artists like Adele, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
The set list was as follows:
- Junior Shreya Chhaya sang “Somewhere Only We Know”
- Senior Alex Wetzler played a song the piano
- Senior Santiago Lopez and his band performed “Lo Que Pidas”
- Senior Iyad Mohammed sang “Stick Season”
- Jazz Group played “Improv Jazz”
- Junior Cassie Rosa sang “All I Ask”
- Junior Aria Kutty sang “Blank Space”
- Santiago, accompanied by J.J. Arbuckle and the band, sang “El Diario de un Borracho”
- Arbuckle sang “Roar”
“I really enjoy watching other students sing and perform,” said junior Garrett Rathbun. “I think it’s entertaining to watch, especially during lunch time.”
Continuing last year’s tradition, the club’s fundraising efforts included selling pizza and sweet treats. The club raised $210, which was matched by an anonymous donor, bringing the total to $420. All of the proceeds will go to the Texas Music Project.
The club’s next fundraising performance is planned for April 2024.
“I’m really looking forward to the next show in April,” said Arbuckle. “My favorite part of the show is bringing joy to the lives of the Greenhill community.”
