Welcome to Corporate Saturday!!! A new band joining our Tour.

Absolute would like to welcome Corporate Saturday to our Think Day tour. They will be joining Team 2 on their tour across Canada.

Corporate Saturday

Over the past three years, Corporate Saturday has worked hard to establish themselves in their hometown of Windsor, Ontario, and they are now looking to do the same across the country while touring with Absolute!  They recently released their first full-length album entitled, “Looking at the Same Stars” and won The “Best Young Songwriters” award at the 2008 Toronto Independent Music Awards. Corporate Saturday’s current line up consists of Rob on drums, Brendan on guitar, Austen on vocals and the newest member, Bobby, on bass.  Together they form a tight knit musical family with the common goal of making good music and spreading a positive message. Being inspired by the Absolute presentation early in high school, the band later decided to apply for a position. After three years of hard work and practice , Corporate Saturday is ready to hit the road for the first time with Absolute!

Everyone has made it home!

On a previous blog, you would have seen that we were thrown a loop in our travel plans home from the Dominican Republic this July. Due to our flights being canceled out of JFK on July 27th, Hero Holiday found a more creative and yes, longer way to get all of the participants home safe […]

Why I LOVE my job…
