The Rhythm Project

You didn’t just learn the notes — you brought them to life. Thank you for the music, the memories, and the magic. Congratulations to the Class of 2025!

Following our Community Day, the celebration continued with our biggest event of the year—the RP Showcase Concert. Rhythm Project middle school, high school, and alumni ensembles took the stage in a powerful display of talent, dedication, and unity through music. It was a night filled with energy, emotion, and pride as our entire pan community came together to reflect on the journey and look ahead with excitement. Thank you to everyone who made it an unforgettable finale to an incredible year! 🥁🌟

Wrapping up the school year on a high note! 🎶 Our end-of-year RP Community Day puts all of our elementary school Junior-Stars under one tent to perform and be inspired to continue their pan journey as rising 6th graders. Thank you to all of the families and students who were in attendance from Douglass Park Elementary, Coleman Place Elementary, Ingleside Elementary, and Larchmont Elementary.

The Rhythm Project All-Stars made their second ever quadrennial trip down to Trinidad this time last year. Securing a new partnership with T&TEC Tropical Angel Harps days before our depature after a semi finals shake up, The All-Stars truly earned every experience they shared in the panyard, standing tall on Moko Jumbie stilts, wading through the waters of pitch lake and maracas bay, and their many, many hours in a maxi.

Please enjoy what was captured of our 12 day adventure of a lifetime.

UPDATED: Due to heat advisory, we will be starting at 8:30pm!!
