Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing!

Announcing...The ICE Recording Studio is Amazing! 

After a year and a half under construction, the ICE music department is thrilled to announce that thanks to funding from the PTA, our brand new recording studio is finished. It is fully equipped with all the necessary microphones, software, mixers, and other music geek essentials. The studio is also being used as a rehearsal space since it has a jazz drum kit, a keyboard and three amps. And importantly, it is completely sound proofed! This year it has already been used to record three albums featuring 11th and 12th grade students. 
 

On June 30th 2018, Free Basement, a band formed by ICE 12G students Stella, Kenny and Marlon will release an album entirely recorded at the school and it will be available on Spotify and iTunes. In the meantime, you can listen to their single "Snow Day" here: 

And here is a brief primer to understand some recording studio lingo that you may now here being thrown around:

this won’t take long: gather food, blankets and toiletries 

what does this switch do?: cover your ears as quickly as possible

one more take and we’ll nail it!: start another fresh pot of coffee

i think the bass and drums should be louder: the vocalist is not attending the mix session

After School

The last day of after school will be on Friday, June 22nd. Thank you for such an amazing year! If you are interested in enrolling your child in summer camp please email Kristin  for more information.
 

Summer Home for Pet Rats

Our beloved female pet rats, Sensei Splinter and Coco Chanel, are seeking a summer sublet, beginning June 29th. 

Provided: metal cage, about 3'x2'x2', crate for playing, shredded paper for cage lining and food as needed. 

Personality: if you haven't met them yet, they have an incredible capacity for cuddling and licking their human visitors, who they just love hanging out with whenever the humans have time for them.

We need help finding a caring home for the summer (or a few summer sublets back to back), where food and fresh water can be made available consistently, and an overall rat-friendly environment (some anti-cat bias is natural).

Please contact Sammi at 646-221-8164 or in Room 521 if you or someone you know are able to help house these friendly faces for a couple of weeks or a whole summer! 

Thank you,
Sammi Weissman
8th & 10th Grade Science Teacher
