See behind-the-scenes with From the Top!
From the Top is pleased to invite a limited number of youth and families to see behind-the-scenes of NPR’s From the Top with Host Christopher O’Riley by attending a working dress rehearsal on Wednesday, November 30 at 2:00pm at the Lunalilo Center – Kamehameha School. Following the full walkthrough of the radio show, complete with inspiring performances and interviews with the nation’s top young musicians, guests will be welcomed to stay and meet the young performers.

Due to space limitations, only 40 seats will be offered. Please note the dress rehearsal may last up to 2.5 hours and guests need to remain silent for much of that time.

Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven – “Everyone thinks they know Libby Strout….But no one’s taken the time to look past her weight to get to know who she really is. Following her mom’s death, she’s been picking up the pieces in the privacy of her home, dealing with her heartbroken father and her own grief….Everyone thinks they know Jack Masselin, too. Yes, he’s got swagger, but he’s also mastered the impossible art of giving people what they want, of fitting in. What no one knows is that Jack has a newly acquired secret: he can’t recognize faces….Until he meets Libby. When the two get tangled up in a cruel high school game—which lands them in group counseling and community service—Libby and Jack are both pissed, and then surprised. Because the more time they spend together, the less alone they feel. . . . Because sometimes when you meet someone, it changes the world, theirs and yours.”

Space Case by Stuart Gibbs – “Like his fellow lunarnauts—otherwise known as Moonies—living on Moon Base Alpha, twelve-year-old Dashiell Gibson is famous the world over for being one of the first humans to live on the moon. And he’s bored out of his mind….Then Moon Base Alpha’s top scientist turns up dead. Dash senses there’s foul play afoot, but no one believes him. Everyone agrees Dr. Holtz went onto the lunar surface without his helmet properly affixed, simple as that. But Dr. Holtz was on the verge of an important new discovery, Dash finds out, and it’s a secret that could change everything for the Moonies—a secret someone just might kill to keep….”

Wandmaker by Ed Masessa – “Henry Leach the Eighth doesn’t know it yet, but he’s descended from a long line of wandmakers. That means he has inherited mysterious powers, a trunk full of strange artifacts…and a whole host of problems. His biggest problem at the moment, however, is his little sister, Brianna. She’s always had a special talent for getting in his way. And she takes troublemaking to new heights when she’s caught in the crossfire of Henry’s first major spell!”

Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick – “Steven has a totally normal life (well, almost). He plays drums in the All-City Jazz Band (whose members call him the Peasant), has a crush on the hottest girl in school (who doesn’t even know he’s alive), and is constantly annoyed by his younger brother, Jeffrey (who is cuter than cute – which is also pretty annoying). But when Jeffrey gets sick, Steven’s world is turned upside down, and he is forced to deal with his brother’s illness, his parents’ attempts to keep the family in one piece, his homework, the band, girls, and Dangerous Pie (yes, you’ll have to read the book to find out what that is!).”
