A Night to Remember: “Between 2 Minds” Takes Center Stage at North East High’s Band Fundraiser


On April 27, 2024, North East High School (NEHS) transformed into a lively hub of excitement as the Blue Crew Marching Band hosted a thrilling fundraiser featuring the mind-reading and hypnosis duo, “Between 2 Minds.” Held in the school’s auditorium, the event aimed to raise funds for the band’s much-needed new uniforms—and it didn’t disappoint.
An Evening of Mystery and Magic
The performers certainly impressed, but it was the volunteers, primarily students, who stole the show. During the second act, the hypnosis segment turned several students into the evening’s stars, as they performed a series of hilarious and unexpected feats. The grand finale featured a spontaneous, competition-style dance-off that left the audience in awe of the moves no one saw coming!
A Community Coming Together
This event was more than just entertainment; it reflected the deep sense of community surrounding the NEHS Blue Crew Marching Band. Event coordinator Jaime Wolfkill praised both the performers and the audience for their tremendous support: “Judge Mentalist and Bernardo Rodriguez are truly masters at what they do! The band parents, teachers, and students laughed all night as they watched their friends dance under hypnosis.”
The fundraiser wasn’t just a fun night out—it was a crucial step toward the band’s goal of purchasing new uniforms. As part of Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS), the band depends on community-driven initiatives like this one to thrive.
Sincerest Appreciation and Visions for the Future
The night’s success was clear in both the joy that filled the auditorium and the progress made toward the fundraising goal. Thanks to the talents of Judge Mentalist and Bernardo Rodriguez and the generous support of the attendees, the Blue Crew Marching Band is now closer to achieving its dream of new uniforms. Special thanks also go to ServPro of Cecil County for serving as the event’s premier sponsor.
Wolfkill shared her appreciation: “These guys really care about the students, and we can’t thank them enough for helping us reach our goal to purchase new uniforms.” She also hinted at future collaborations, adding, “We look forward to booking again for the 2024/25 school year!”
