2021 SS9 Summer Jam
We are back to live shows! This summer’s showcase will be at Wet N Wild Waterworld on August 21, 2021. If you are interested in performing, please contact your instructor today.
First Virtual Showcase-Welcome to Y2K
The pandemic that hit us in 2020 changed how we do things. The music never stops though. The resiliency of our students, parents, and staff has been incredible. At Sound Stage 9, we were able to bring entertainment to homes across the world virtually by featuring our talented students in a virtual showcase. With the amazing work of SRB Consulting & Design and DoubleScope Films, many people connected on a livestream on YouTube on March 14, 2021 to enjoy memorable songs from the 2000s performed by our inspiring students. David Davis from Reel Passion Films captured their unforgettable stage performances. Their visible audience were production staff but those cameras shared their talent and energy to thousands.
Sound Stage 9 West Grand Opening
After 6 years of having one location in East El Paso, we expanded to the West El Paso! We have received an overwhelming support from our community. We are so proud to be able to have a convenient location inside Sunland Park Mall. What better way to celebrate than to have our students and instructors perform at the Grand Opening Ceremony on April 10, 2021. Sunland Park Mall was an entertainment center that day, filled with musicians and their supports. Many Saturday afternoon shoppers stopped by to enjoy the show and were captivated by the lively spirit that our students and instructors brought to the stage.
Our First Original Children's Album!
It’s here!!!
Our FIRST (original) Children’s Album! We’re so excited to share it with you all! This album ALMOST didn’t come out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we have an amazing team that pushed through and got it done. The message of this album ranges from mental health awareness, Mexico/U.S. border life, and multicultural diversity to a pizza party and bath time.
We had a lot of fun writing these songs and we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed creating them for you.

Sound Stage 9 Student Makes National TV Debut
SS9 Family,
We hope you are safe and healthy! We miss you all very much and hope to see you soon! We want to share some exciting news with everyone. One of our very own students, Jerry Vlack made his national TV debut this morning on Telemundo's popular show, Un Nuevo Día! He is part of our Artist Development Program. During quarantine, Jerry has been working immensely on his premiere of the music video "Lights" which he has dedicated to the class of 2020. The video to this song was filmed a week before lockdown in El Paso's very own Del Valle High School. We are excited to share the music video and interview with our SS9 family. Please let us know what you think!

Happy 2020!
Let us first start off by wishing you a Happy New Year! We have a big year coming up here at SS9 and we can't wait to watch it all unfold. We are very fortunate to be entering YEAR 5!!! We can't thank you enough for your continued support! We know SS9 would not be what it is if it wasn't for all of you, so from the bottom of our hearts -THANK YOU! Attached to this email, you'll find a calendar that will show you the events that we have planned out for this year. Events include Hall of fame testing, student showcases, studio closures and more. You may also notice that we have a timeline for the writing, recording, and release dates of our first, ORIGINAL studio album! That's right! We're recording an album which will consist of our own students and production team. This album is extra special to us, not only because it will be created all in-house, but also because we are submitting this album for a GRAMMY NOMINATION! We are extremely excited about this and hope you are too!
This album will require a lot of planning and a lot of hard work from anyone participating. Due to the high demand, and the short time that we have available, we, unfortunately, may not be able to include all of our students, but we will try our absolute hardest to get as many involved as possible. Remember that we will also give our students the opportunity to participate in the Student Showcase, which will also be our album release party. If we have not already reached out to you directly and you are interested in your child participating, please reach out to us and we will follow up as soon as possible.
Thank you for your endless support, and for taking this journey with us! We are excited for 2020 and hope you are too!
- Sound Stage 9 Team
