In mid June, the EWS Rhythm & Blues Band had the opportunity to record a CD at Cove City Sound Studios, a recording studio made famous by such artists as Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Billy Joel. Under the musical direction of Band teacher Mr. Paul Oechslin, the student musicians spent an entire day recording 12 of their most popular songs, including covers of "Eye of the Tiger," "Gimmee Some Loving," "Soul Man," and "We're Not Gonna Take It." It was an experience that will not be forgotten.
Copies of the CD are available in the school store for $10.
