The Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA) and Kaiser Permanente are committed to safely connecting our community with the healing power of the arts. Modeled after our sell-out College Notes A Cappella program, High School Notes is a new project aimed at outreach and engagement for local high school students, teachers, families, and communities. These East Bay schools provide moving tributes with songs inspired by the gratitude of frontline workers, the importance of mental well-being, the need for racial justice and harmony, and the value of hope and resilience. Enjoy the full concert free of charge here (also available on Facebook)!

This digital concert is directed and emceed by Deke Sharon, producer of NBC’s “The Sing-Off” and Universal’s three “Pitch Perfect” movies. DRAA is delighted to welcome back NBC Bay Area’s Marcus Washington as host for the evening. High School Notes would not be possible without the vision of Executive Producer and DRAA board member, Peters Suh.
