High school rockers jam for Japan

Beijing band Hot Noise
Beijing World Youth Academy's Hot  Noise opened the show Saturday at Vics

An eclectic mix of student bands from Beijing’s international high schools rocked Vics Saturday while raising money for disaster relief in Japan.

A crowd of 350 students, friends and even a few parents packed the all-ages show Rock-am-Jing, which featured bands from WAB, ISB, BWYA and other of Beijing’s premier international schools.

It is no surprise that these kids can make music -- they seem to have long mastered the basic guitar riffs and drum beats. Judging by the shouts and chants that filled the venue, the vibrant frenzy of youthful energy on stage captivated the crowd.
