News, schools, and views from a uniquely Lowell perspective

Rockin’ at the Reilly

Yesterday afternoon, I found myself surrounded by hundreds of smiling, sweaty elementary students and their teachers dancing at the Reilly School. Despite what had to be 100-degree temperatures in the cafeteria, we were having a great time rockin’ to the sounds of custodian Rich Sarmento and his band, the Fun Razrs, which includes members Leo Sheridan, John McQuaid, and Don Belley. No surprise that the youngsters had to get up and moving to songs like Hard Days Night, Can’t Buy Me Love, We Will Rock You, and Taking Care of Business, and it was definitely the largest under-age-10 dance party I’ve ever attended. The band, known for playing to support local fund raisers, was featured at the Shedd Park Dancing with Lowell Stars last Saturday night. They will also be playing for my kick-off garden party tomorrow, and what a great way to end the school year on an up beat!
