Crofton Children's Centre is hosting an event next Saturday, Oct. 2, to support one of their teachers in her battle against breast cancer. This will not be a bake sale, and it's not a “run”… it's something MUCH more spectacular.
They're bringing 
to Anne Arundel County for a benefit concert
and they're calling it Juice Box @ The Whiskey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rocknoceros (pronounced like rhinoceros) has dominated the Washington, DC children's scene since its inception in 2005, winning four Whammies (Washington Area Music Awards), landing an on-going Video-on-Demand offering through Cox Cable, and producing 3 CD's of original music.
If there are kids in your family, you probably already know that Rocknoceros is a group of three guys:
Coach Cotton is the ring-leader, frequently immersed in a sea of knee-high concert goers. Wearing a wireless head-set microphone, he wades through the mass of dancing children, dispersing high-fives and shaking a tambourine.
Williebob provides the necessary string work for the show, moving among a collection of guitars, mandolins, and banjos while wearing a kazoo around his neck.
Boogie Woogie Bennie is a one-man-band within the power trio, employing a contraption that one four-year-old fan described as "the piano-drum". The piano-drum allows Boogie Bennie to play the bass drum with his right foot, the snare drum and hi-hat cymbal with his left foot, and the keyboard with his hands (with his left hand playing the bass parts).
Together, Rocknoceros is able to cover a dizzying range of musical styles in each set... from Tin Pan Alley to the shores of Jamaica, Rocknoceros hops from genre to genre like a toad on summer asphalt. Local resident Katherine Nicol tells me there's no denying that this group is definitely NOT your typical musical trio!

a juice box filled with whiskey?!? count me in!
Good Luck with the event. Sounds like there will be a lot of fun!
Haha... "the whiskey" is an Annapolis hot spot for live music, not normally a venue for kids. I think it's a cute name, don't you? (Doubt there will be any beverages served at this show that resemble whiskey, but it's good advertising for them... some of the parents might just be tempted to visit them again during their normal business hours.
Thanks, Ellie. It does sound like fun for anyone with kids.
Kids? Kids or no kids it is going to be a blast! What a unique concept for a group and I bet they are a real treat to watch! I hope they raise a ton of money - it is definitely going to a worthy cause! I know with the community rallying around the teacher she will most definitely be lifted up and be able to conquer this terrible disease.
Leesa - I'm with you on that... It does look like a blast for the kid within us, even if we don't have a kid. And it's such a unique fundraiser in this world of baked goods, wrapping paper and magazine sales, runs/walks...
What a fantastic fundraiser ..graet local post ..thanks for the info
Margaret---You are such a good will ambassador for your community. It seems like there is always so much going on there---makes me think about relocating. :-) I am happy to learn about Rocknoceros too! My kids had Raffi and my grandkids have some they listen to, but it sounds like these fellows are headed for success!!
Hannah, I was so glad to get this info from someone in the community. It's not something I would have known about, since I have no kids in school any more and there hasn't been anything in the paper.
Pat, Thank you... I try... And I think this is the kind of info that relocating homebuyers want to know about, don't you?
