The Bubs Foundation is proud to host the 21st annual Harmony Sweepstakes Boston Regional this spring. Harmony Sweepstakes is the premier American showcase for vocal harmony music, and The Bubs Foundation uses the proceeds from the Harmony Sweepstakes concert to fund its mission of supporting vocal music programs in Boston-area public schools. This support is rendered through grants to school music programs and its Be the Music® after-school music education programs.
The show is being held on Sunday, April 17th at 2:00 pm, and will be held in Cohen Auditorium on the campus of Tufts University in Medford, MA. Hosting the show will be last year's Boston Regional and National Champions, the Plumbers of Rome.

Curtis Guild Elementary School holds first ever concert!
Supported by a grant from The Bubs Foundation, Curtis Guild Elementary in East Boston was able to hold a concert right before the winter break in December. The concert was packed full of singing, dancing and fun. Popular music was mixed with Christmas carols, and there was even a song from Oliver, “Food, Glorious Food!” Parents filled the gym, making it a standing room only event for the 200 people in the crowd. This was the first ever musical performance at the school!
