ABOUT PLAY IT FORWARD

Play it Forward is the brainchild of Canadian singer/songwriter Julie Crochetiere. Julie envisioned an event that would combine live entertainment with community building and fund raising for local kid's music programs - a show that would inspire children to get involved and have a positive ripple effect in the community.

Today the amazing success of Play it Forward has left an indelible impression on the lives of hundreds of children and adults alike.

Play It Forward is a concept in which Julie invites local kids concert bands, kids choirs and string sections to join her and her band on stage to participate in her show. The kids rehearse with her for 3 months to learn her original compositions to get ready for the performance. The show is taylor made for each community and the result is an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Play it Forward is gaining incredible support and momentum as entire communities are inspired to participate!

Hey Julie!!!

Last night was really and truly my BEST concert experience EVER!  We'll have those posters up in the music room LONG after all of us are gone, so students after us will get to see that we performed with you!
