Mount Abraham’s a cappella ensemble features the homegrown talent of our own Five-Town students. With a repertoire list this spanning from The Platters to Rossini to Cindi Lauper, these kids will add sparkle to your shine.
Tom and Janet have been performing at Best Night from the beginning and love performing for the “hometown crowd.” They spend much of their time traveling with their organization, Magicians Without Borders, performing in refugee camps and orphanages, bringing love, laughter, magic and hope to many of the most forgotten children in the world.
They also have four groups of very poor children they are training to be magicians in El Salvador,
Colombia and India, in addition to touring here at home, bringing magic to VA Hospitals, homeless shelters and hospitals.
