And the 2026 Michigan Emmy Award for Best Documentary (Topical) goes to...

CAMP RICSTAR!

A well-deserved congratulations to Judy and Dick Winter and the entire team behind this extraordinary film. It is a powerful journey that beautifully shares an important and meaningful topic.

Since its inception, the Community Music School in East Lansing has proudly hosted the Eric "RicStar" Winter Music Therapy Camp. In fact, the camp just wrapped up another successful summer last week, and what a way to cap it off with an Emmy win that affirms the significance of the camp and the film that tells its story.

Kudos to Judy, Dick, the filmmakers, the CMS faculty, staff and volunteers, and especially the campers and their supporters who are what it's all about.

Due to an extreme heat advisory in the area, the Backyard Bash featuring Morgan James and Blue Avenue Delegates will now be held indoors at the Eagle Eye Grand Garden Ballroom for the safety of our artists, guests, and staff. After seeing the city of Lansing issue a Code Red Extreme Weather Plan to provide cooling shelters for people in need, the decision became rather easy.

While Share The Music Foundation and MSUFCU have worked diligently to create an enjoyable outdoor concert experience, our top priority is everyone’s health and well-being. Thankfully, the beautiful indoor ballroom at Eagle Eye Golf Club offers a comfortable, air-conditioned environment to enjoy the show.

Updated Concert Details:
📍 New Venue Location:
Eagle Eye Grand Garden Ballroom
Eagle Eye Golf Club
15500 Chandler Rd, Bath Township, MI 48808
🕠 Doors Open: 5:30 p.m.
🎶 Blue Avenue Delegates: 6:15 p.m.
🎤 Morgan James: 7:45 p.m.

No need to bring lawn chairs—seating will be provided inside.
Food trucks will still be available just outside the main entrance.
Cash bar service will be offered by Eagle Eye.
Be sure to spread the word to other ticket holders who have been provided tickets through corporate sponsorships as their email address might not be listed on the ticket orders. Mass communication is being sent to everyone that registered a ticket.
