On June 6, the C Note music club hosted its monthly all-ages night known as First Friday. The lineup of bands was put together by Hull High graduate Dahlia Hedrick, now a student at Berklee College of Music.

Ian Barkon, the Hull High School music educator, reached out to Hedrick to ask if some high school musicians could take a set that evening, and she gladly gave them the opening spot. This performance would mark the return of Hull’s high school musicians to the C Note stage since the end of the COVID19 pandemic.

The high school’s set included Scarlett Arevalo playing the piano and harmonica, with Ash Connors-Duffy singing Billy Joel’s “Piano Man,” soloist Delphine Martin singing and playing the ukulele to three of her favorite songs – one of which is the favorite of her mother who was sitting in the audience –and the high school’s after-school rock band performing The Misfits’ “Saturday Night.” Members included Ash Connors-Duffy (vocals), Scarlett Arevalo (guitar), Joe Davidson (guitar), Delphine Martin (bass), and Dom Laufenberg (drums).

Along with the all-ages show, First Friday is also known for giving back to the community. That night, C Note manager Barbara Rhind donated more than $1,000 to the Hull High School music department. That donation will go to scholarships for students who plan on studying music beyond high school.
