It’s late on a Tuesday night and the halls are vacant at Judkin’s Middle School in Pismo Beach. A light shines from the band room and sound emanates out into the darkness.
“Be our guest. Be our guest…we are here to do a show for you… You bring up your arms like this and you point your right finger at the audience,” Jan Zilli, member and choreographer tells the group.

Saturday morning at Frank’s Famous Hotdogs off is a favorite for families to enjoy pancakes together, while college students sober up to a breakfast burrito, but the restaurant has added a new item to the menu that will make the experience all the better.
