PERFORMANCE PREP The road to a great performance starts long before stepping on stage. In this clip, The Big 3 —Baby Virgo, Brookie Cookie, and Hannah Banana—are rehearsing for their performance at Chicago's Inspired by You Festival, treating practice with the same focus and energy they planned to bring to the audience. As their first performance outside of the studio this year, every transition, lyric, and movement mattered. Their commitment to preparation reflects the standard we've built together: excellence is the expectation, not the exception.
INSPRIED BY YOU FESTIVAL After weeks of preparation, The Big 3 took the stage at the Inspired by You Festival for their first community performance of 2026—and they delivered. Performing songs from across their catalog, along with new music from their upcoming project, Baby Virgo, Brookie Cookie, and Hannah Banana showcased just how much they've grown as artists and performers. The response from festival attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many stopping afterward to compliment the group on their professionalism, stage presence, and original music. It was a proud moment that marked another major step in their journey as young artists representing Notes for Notes Chicago.
