MIDNIGHT SPAGHETTI
& the chocolate g-strings Retro funk mob Midnight Spaghetti & The Chocolate G-Strings has been satisfying discriminating dancers with monster grooves since January 2003. Their blend of classic funk, conscious frenetic rap, a killer horn section, and a contagious enthusiasm for life left people wondering what planet they came from, but more importantly, how they could get on that mothership.

ANTHEM FOR THE LOST (AFTL) Anthem for the Lost is a four piece rock band from Harrisburg Pennsylvania. The group consists of Christopher Valotta on vocals, Randy Rock on guitar, Brian Steinman on bass, and Jordan Pilsitz on drums. Formed in 2007 from the remnants of two bands: On Faith Alone and My Dying Wish, this new group defines the new progressive rock movement. Powerhouse vocals and high energy performances make this band a unique experience from the opposite side of the stage. Anthem’s music is not only the soundtrack for those who have lost someone, but also for those who feel they have lost themselves.

Community Involvement

Starbucks gets involved in the community in what is called a "Make Your Mark." Volunteer hours by Starbucks partners and their family and friends are tallied and matched with a $10 per hour contribution from Starbucks Coffee Company.

Make Your Marks can include anything from support of a Non-Profit organization like American Cancer Society, to a park clean-up, to running into an icy river for a Special Olympics Eskimo Plunge! If you have an event that you think Starbucks could support, stop by and talk with your local Store Manager.
