Where are they now?

VIBE is great training for careers in music, dance, stage and screen. VIBE alumni have gone on to Broadway, to SNL, to Hollywood and to the Connecticut State House. Our alumni serve as mentors and role models for the next generation of performers.

As a VIBE alum, we invite you to connect with your successors. Here are some ideas to support the VIBE community:

Conduct intensive training in voice, dance, band or acting for our current students.
Host a fundraiser for VIBE.
Pretend to be a show choir judge at a dress rehearsal, providing notes to help improve the show before competition.
Assist with costumes or sets for the next show.
Drop in to see our competitions in New England.
Offer to meet with students who are pursuing careers like yours.
Represent alumni on the VIBE Supporters Board.
