School on Wheels has arrived
Our brand new School on Wheels is all polka-dotted and ready to go! This van will be a huge help in getting our extra instruments to Sunday sessions, as well as anywhere else we roam. Big, loud thanks to everyone who contributed to our campaign to raise funds for this newest addition to our school.
Come parade with us!
Every Sunday at 4 pm, we take our music to the streets of Somerville, loud and proud, playing lively music to inspire our neighbors and to bind our community together.

Reeds take lead on treats this week
To ensure some tasty snacks each week, we have started rotating sections responsible for bringing treats.
For our Dec.4 Dance Party this Sunday, we’re calling on reed players to bring a nut-free snack or beverage if they can.
Halloween Dance Party
School of HONK turns two years old, and we’re celebrating with a
Kids’ Halloween Dance Party and Blinky-Light Parade
Sunday, Oct 30, 3-6 pm
Cambridge Community Art Center (119 Windsor St, Cambridge)
Our dancers have some really easy, fun dance moves for kids to learn and master in no time at all, and then perform, in costume for the whole neighborhood. Free and open to kids of all ages and their families.
- 3:00 pm Dancers meet at Community Art Center to learn dance moves along side School of HONK band
- 4:15 pm Band and dancers make our way to Clement Morgan Park for a dazzling sunset show
- 5:15 pm Step off for blinky-lights parade around the neigborhood before returning to the Center
Don’t forget a costume, or polka dots, or blinky-lights, or whatever puts you in the spirit of the season.
To learn more about our School and see our dancers in action, check out Patrick Johnson’s video of our Mardi Gras Dance Party earlier this year.
