Anisa Abella, a Red Bank Middle School student was the proud winner of the Nick Carter Gift of Music Scholarship from The Count Basie Theater’s Cool School. Nick Carter, a University of Connecticut engineering student and life long musician, wanted to make it possible for a young person that exhibits a true passion for the study of music to be able to pursue their studies with a group of like minded youngsters.
The Rockit program was a wonderful way for Nick to help provide a very positive and encouraging environment for young musicians. With the help of the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ, the Nick Carter Gift of Music Scholarship helps young musicians achieve their dreams of learning and performing their favorite music. Rockit is very grateful to Nick and his parents for making this possible for other young musicians.
The scholarship gives Miss Abella the opportunity to be a part of the Rockit For Kids winter session, where she will be performing with the group on March 15th at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank. A bass player, she auditioned for the program and was picked from a very promising group of young musicians.
Rockit For Kids gives young musicians an instant opportunity to play Rock & Roll with their peers, bringing them together to perform live as a band. Registration is open to guitarists, drummers, vocalists, bassists, keyboardists, and brass and string players.
The next Rockit Concert will be Sunday March 15th at 1pm and 6pm at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ.
