"Greetings Promo Squad-ers!

We, here at the Los Angeles Honor Society Street Team, are pumped to announce are official Honor Society promotion day! This promo day will take place on Saturday, June 5th at 1pm at the Glendale Galleria. We will be meeting inside the Glendale Galleria,on the first level, in front of JC Penney's. From here we will disburse, but this is just our meeting spot.

We would like everyone to try and wear or bring some sort of Honor Society merchandise. We would prefer if everyone would try and wear a See U shirt or a tour t-shirt but bringing a See U tote bag or simply wearing your HS Crew gold medallion would be perfectly fine. You could even bring an HS sweatshirt if you wish or if it's cold outside! We want everyone to be very festive so we can show our Honor Society love. Us, Street Team Leaders will be wearing our merchandise as well.

Our primary focus of this promo day will be to promo the San Diego Fair show that Honor Society will be playing, but we want to just get their name out there too. The Glendale Galleria is a meeting spot and we want to hit up most of the mall but we might move around and cover more ground. We will see what that day brings!

All we want you to do is come and bring your Honor Society spirit! Feel free to bring your cameras as well to take pictures/videos, or even your Ipods to play Honor Society music.

So again we will see you all at 1pm on Saturday June 5th, at the Glendale Galleria (first level in front of JC Penney's). We expect this promo day to run about 2-3 hours so expect to be done around 3pm or 4pm. If you need to leave before hand, you can do so. You can also come late if you need to. We just want to see your smiling faces there, one way or the other!

We're pumped! Hope to see you all there!

Much Love & Much Duh,

Steph, Lindzey & Marisa (Los Angeles Honor Society Street Team)"

Honoring society's rise no accident
By Bobbie Jo Stuff, InMotion Staff Writer
Issue date: 5/1/10 Section: Entertainment

"One of the age old questions has always been, can music really be taught or is it an ability that comes from within?

Yes, anyone can learn the notes and play them in sequences but is that all there is to it? Is it just taking classes and learning, or is it an emotion felt with every note? Unfortunately, there is no simple black and white answer for these questions. It's a decision musicians have to make on their own.

New Jersey based band Honor Society has both classically trained and emotional inspired musicians. They also know first-hand what it's like to fight for a dream.

Honor Society is comprised of lead vocal/guitarist Michael Bruno, keyboard/guitarist Jason Rosen, bassist Andrew Lee and drummer Alex Noyes. Forming in 2005, they spent a rough few years without a label playing the local bar scene. The guys even toured in a minivan, sleeping on fans' couches before finally signing to Hollywood Records in 2009.

The band is now starting its second headlining tour after opening for big names like The Jonas Brothers and Timbaland, making a Billboard Top 20 album and having a cameo in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

Yet, when sitting on their new tour bus and laughing about times spent in school, where most of them met, the members of the band seem very down to earth when sharing the story of their rise.

"In high school Jay and I learned a tremendous amount from our teacher Marty Celay," Bruno explained. "He taught us so much about music and the guitar. Then we had more structured learning in college. It's important to learn all that stuff but then you have to take time on your own to put it into practice, put it into play. Otherwise it's just theory."

Rosen graduated from Berkley College of Music, Bruno from New York University and Lee finished at University of Hartford. While Noyes started at Wagner College, he didn't finish. Noyes explained why having less institutionalized musical training than his comrades never intimidated him.

"I think everybody sort of learns differently. Basically for me it was playing every weekend," he said. "I was in bands since the start of high school. We would spend time in my basement and just play, play, play so that in and of itself was the foundation for me. And I also am a firm believer in feeling music instead of just learning music. There's a creative side to it as well, not just a technical side."

Lee quickly jumps in adding, "Speaking for Alex or when Alex joined the band, I don't think there was any block in communication or musical know-how. It just all fit."

They mutually agreed learning about their craft and putting it into practice every single day helped get them where they are.

"We didn't get here by accident." Noyes stated with a smile of accomplishment.

Daytona State College student and musician Brooke Jones sees where Honor Society comes from but likes the idea of taking it to another level.

"If you want to be a musician, like as a career, it's something you can't deny. The music is inside of you is dying to get out. You learn because you want to, you practice everyday and if you skip a day it's like a piece of you is missing. You might not even know what notes you're playing, you just play."

So maybe the answer to the questions above is to find the balance that works for you. The one common ground is practicing your craft often because if one thing is true, you really won't end up there by accident."

Thanks to Jordin Sparks and Lousiana Honor Society Street Team's tweets, we have found out that Honor Society will be performing (as well as Jordin Sparks) at the Wisconsin State Fair. For more information, check out Wisconsin State Fair
