Vanilla Ice to surprise SOS band members on Tuesday

Riviera Beach, FL – (September 11, 2022) – The Sounds of Success Community Marching Band members are in for a big surprise on Tuesday.

Vanilla Ice wants to encourage the kids to practice hard. He says the community needs to stand behind the band and support them.

"This is a great opportunity for the kids to fulfill their musical dreams, and with the help of our neighbors here in Palm Beach, I think we can get it done," said Vanilla Ice. "It's important to cultivate the next generation of musicians."

SOS launched a raffle to raise money for the trip and other programs.
