‘We do it ourselves': Project Mayhem returns to Boardman
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – Rock music, spectacular lights and songs from several decades: It's Project Mayhem at Boardman High School, performed by student musicians. Read next: Ohio boys basketball All-State awards: Complete list for all divisions The high school's family-friendly annual concert returns Friday night at the Boardman Performing Arts Center. The show is nothing less than a professional rock concert with all of the students auditioning to be a part of it. The students sing all of the songs, play all of the instruments, and put on a show packed with intense musical energy. 'We have an incoming group of people, which they've really stepped up to the plate. Last year, we had an amazing array of singers and performers, but they've definitely stepped up this year,' said Boardman High School senior Julianna Douglass, who plays the electric violin in the show. 'Project Mayhem is a rock orchestra. We have the four core instruments — violin, viola, cello, bass — and then they're electrified.' You'll get to rock out to drums, singers, guitarists and an array of songs for everyone from different decades, like 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' by the Beatles and 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana. It's something the students not only have to audition for but also start rehearsing for months in advance. 'We start from the very first week of school, and we do it once a week, and then around this time, we're here every day for hours, and it pays off, though it's really tough,' said Douglass. 'I really love that when it comes down to the show, it's student-run. We do it completely ourselves, like we do it, start to finish. And then you feel like I did this, you know, like we did this as a group.' All of the money is reinvested into the program. 'Pretty much all the money we make with these concerts goes back into equipment for these concerts. This year, we bought in ear monitors for the singers and the guitar players,' said Bill Amendol, who is one of the orchestra directors with the school. 'One of our goals is to give these kids the experience of using professional gear — using it, operating it, learning how to work with it, so that's part of the education piece.' If you want tickets, you need to get them now because the school is projecting another sell-out performance. Tickets can be picked up at Boardman High School between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday and Friday at the front entrance of Boardman High School. Tickets cost $10 each and can be paid for by cash or check only. The Boardman Orchestra's Project Mayhem is on Friday, March 28, at the Boardman High School Performing Arts Center at 7777 Glenwood Avenue. The show starts at 7 p.m. and is one performance only.
