Berlin Township Elementary School Stage Band: Salsoul Hustle (private, 1977, A Rhythm Fiesta)
Private press elementary school stage band album out of Camden, New Jersey.
I don’t know about the bands at your elementary school, but these NJ kids were kind of killing it. At this point in the ’70s, stage bands everywhere were playing with funky/fusion tunes but I’m most impressed at the mature sense of polyrhythm this group already had at an early age.

Proof that your vinyl weighs a ton.
Amazing,,,I wonder if some of them will continue playing nowadays.
Many of them still play. They just had a reunion with some of the “kids” from the past 50 years and brought the band director Mr. Garton back to direct them. One of the biggest music talent to come out was Matt Cappy. Look him up. Matcappy.com
