Support X17 And Feed The Cast!

Written By Mike Scott

Each year Rhythm X, Inc. feeds all 100 cast members of our US WGI Ensembles every show weekend. Providing these meals ensures the performers are prepared mentally and physically for their performance and makes certain they have the time they need on show day to get ready, stay relaxed, and perform at the highest level. Since 2013 we've been providing every single meal for our performers on show day and 2017 will be no different.

Providing these meals is no easy task. With around 100 mouths to feed, both the cost and logistics can be a challenge. Fortunately, we've had incredible support from our parents and alumni to make this possible.

There are two ways you can help us feed X17. If you want to be in on the action, you can bring any portion of a meal to rehearsal and help serve along with other parents and alumni. Can't make it to a rehearsal or provide food? You can also donate and the Rhythm X, Inc. team or a parent helping serve a meal will ensure that your gift goes toward purchasing food for the cast.

To provide a meal visit our sign-up page here. Alternatively, you can make a donation towards meals at rhythmx.org/donate. Just make a note in the donation that you'd like the gift to go towards feeding the cast!
