reed. >> getting under a big blanket and telling somebody else to take the kids around town. >> ipads and devices charged. here you go. >> ipad day. [ laughter ] parenting 101. all right, let's take a quick look at what's going on outside. it is a cool and chilly morning and i was hoping reed was going to say something along the lines of i don't know always gets soup on days like today but it's a chilly afternoon ahead ofus and a wet one too. showers moving in from offshore. a first alert weather day for a reason. the cold front is moving in and it's bringing in everything. seriously, big no card. we have rain and we have some snow and we have a little bit of mix flurries and we have gusty conditions and gosh, and we have cool temperatures. daytime highs today upper 40s and lower 50s and there's the current look at the radar this morning throughout the bay area. just near san francisco county and all the way up into the marin headlands too stretching over into richmond and soon to be vallejo. head

more south. snowfall all the way up near mount hamilton. of course it's a higher elevated area that are going to see that today. we can expect about an inch up there. and the rest of us here in the bay area, well, depends on where you live. when it comes to how much rain we can actually expect. take a look at this. all the way throughout this morning, as we time this out for the morning commute, maybe you leave the house around 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m. so within the next hour, this is what it's looking like. the showers start to sweep into the peninsula. up into the north bay giving us about a quarter inch just near santa rosa, san francisco at that point. closer to tenth of an inch. and same trend in half-moon bay. but the band of rain continues to sweep off to the east and now the east bay is getting hit with not nearly as much as the friends near the north bay. but around 11:00 hit and miss showers and i'll time the rest of the day out for you coming up in a bit. for now over to you, g. >> all right jess, thank you. taking a look at the roadways. we know when it's a first alert weather day not fun on the roadways but hey a little bit of the calm before the storm. heading steady right now with dry roadways for the most part at least at the bay bridge toll plaza. where we're

not seeing too much going on. very minimal brake lights and we are still in that spring break traffic pattern. where we're not seeing too much through there. if you are headed westbound over into san francisco. now we are starting to see things getting a little bit busy westbound 80 as you head out of hercules and into richmond. things getting a little bit crowded through there. down to about 27 miles per hour. nicole? now the a's are gearing up for the first road trip to detroit. was oakland able to avoid a boston red sox sweep? ross stripling took the mound for oakland and get this. he threw seven innings striking out three and the only run that he gave up was a sac fly in the 4th. but a's hitters needed to be more clutch. eight hits and no runners home. kenley jansen gets noda swinging to end the game and the red sox complete the sweep defeating oakland 1-0. the a's play in detroit tomorrow. unfortunate loss for the a's seeing that pitching was really on point yesterday.

but what's more unfortunate reports coming out that the team is finalizing a deal to play in sacramento after this season of course. >> yeah. hits just keep coming right? and not there at the mound. for now, they're just reports nothing confirmed but what is confirmed this morning is that the a's face an ending in their lease with the oakland coliseum. so there's that. and a's leadership was supposed to meet in sacramento yesterday to talk about that possible move to sutter health park which is home of the giants' triple-a affiliate. lot of meeting happening on thione but in the coming days because it speaks to money moves. the chronicle reporting this morning the a's are trying to readjust their broadcasting contract with nbc sports. now that is important to them because the team is only guaranteed the full amount if their sports network of the deal if they play in the bay area. that's the business part of the conversation. so that's something to look at very closely as the days go on. but let's talk about you the fans. will you follow the team to

sacramento? >> will diehard a's' fans like yourself support the team if they were to be at sutter health. >> i -- i will be in there in protest. just as i am at in of the activities we put together out in oakland. no. i will not. >> he won't. now let's talk about what you fans say you want. you want a keep the a's in oakland. the team met with oakland officials. what happened there? the statement from the a's said that they were far apart with the city on the specific terms. now meanwhile, in las vegas, the a's look ready to move into this new $1.5 billion ballpark. by 2028. this is what the dugout digs would look like pretty fancy. things are happening fast in las vegas. get this. the a's have hired the same company that the raiders used to oversee ticket and suite sales even before ground is broken on the ballpark. already looking to sell tickets. and this. this is the lead story in las vegas for

days. this is the tropicana casino resort and you see the chains going up there. they closed it in recent days, seven plus decades of service in las vegas ended. las vegas locals in fact got alast chance tour of the casino and everybody there was told the place would be demolished in october to clear the way for the new a's' ballpark on the las vegas strip. you see the chains going up there. >> wow. >> we were there for super bowl. right in that area. i mean, i actually wanted to get footage and do a story on it because you could just sense the relocation was near and it was happening and just seeing the chain across the door, kind of like the nail in the coffin. >> it's like the worst breakup. just going on so long and i feel like -- either make it happen and move on but i mean i feel like now we're there right? this is happening. >> it is happening and it's happening a lot the same way it worked in las vegas for more than a decade. it's happening the same way as it did with the raiders. exactly the same way. we saw the ticket sales go on and we saw the land and we saw -- it's literally a carbon copy of the same plan. >> i will say this, the raiders -- i mean people were upset they were leaving but i don't

know. it didn't feel so tumultuous like it did with the a's. >> the raiders left before. we've broken up with the team before. look live over in san francisco because the crowded race for mayor in the city has another high-profile politician throwing his hat in the ring. after months of speculation, supervisor aaron peskin says he is joining the race. he's expected to make his formal announcement at a rally in chinatown this weekend. outside of peskin, there are three other candidates trying to unseat mayor breed. supervisor safai, former san francisco mayor mark ferrell, and daniel lurie of course heir to the levi strauss fortune. nurses working for santa clara county are entering the third and final day of picketing. they say they went on strike demanding better pay, staffing, and security. their contract expired back in october. the county says it does offer competitive salaries. the county also hired nearly 1,000 nurses to keep essential services running during the strike. time right now 6:09.

this 7.4 quake devastated the mountain territories and the city landscapes alike. look at that. violent shaking left a lot of building like this one either leaning or toppled all together and then right there in the rubble, the rescuers risking their lives and trying to get into the buildings one by one. systematically. looking for life. there's also a massive effort to keep those buildings stabilized long enough to evacuate people who are still trapped inside. we know this. taiwan is no stranger to earthquakes, really part of life there like the bay area but this one, was different. it was the biggest and most violent quake in

almost three decades. it also hit at the worst possible time just as people were heading to school and to work. in fact, more than 1,000 confirmed injured and we've also learned that a tenth person has died and stories of people crossing the waters this morning. here's california's woman telling about the rude ashakening shed felt from the shaker. >> definitely a shock when it happened. the whole room was shaking and we tried to find like somewhere to hide like under a table. >> guess what? the shaking has not stopped. this morning reports out of taiwan say more than 300 powerful aftershocks have been felt which continue to destabilize the mountain areas and the buildings where people remain trapped. this morning, also there are reports of the majority of people trapped are in a national park area. sadly, most of them are hotel employees. >> and we're also hearing that tsunami warnings continue in the region this morning. taiwan is no stranger to tremors. the island sits a i long the ring of fire, it's an area around the edges of the pacific ocean

that's known for frequent seismic activity. now our coastline also sits on this area. but it's not often an earthquake of this magnitude shakes beneath the place as populated as taiwan. well, last time taiwan felt this was in 1999 when a deadly 7.6 magnitude quake killed more than 2,000 people. since thin mayor of hualien says they have been trying to gather resources and educate citizens on self-protection. updates throughout the day. continuing coverage on ire and on the website kpix.com and on the free cbs news bay area app. well, we are in first alert weather day mode today with that wet weather headed this day but i want to talk a little bit about what's happening with the earthquake in taiwan. i know you have spent a lot of time there jessica, and earlier you and i were discussing how different it is with the building seeing them toppled over and leaning like that. >> absolutely. i mean the epicenter was in hualien which

by theway along the east coast only about 4% of the population. the rest is on the west coast. still impacts being felt today in areas like taipei. felt the slicking too. that's where most of the footage is coming in from. is the heavier populated areas to. what's going on here in the bay area? it is a first alert weather day. and i'm sure you can guess the reason why if you can taking a look at the screen right now. it's a very active morning already along the coastline. we're starting to see snow near mount hamilton already up into the sierra too. the cold front that's moving in is bringing in some cold air. shocker right? not a warm front. just along the coastline. that shower setup is starting to wrap the peninsula and we're starting to see some moderate pockets of rain close to vallejo within the next 15 minutes or so. stretching down into the santa clara valley some of us are waking up to dry conditions. some of us are starting to see just a little bit of the showers but mostly in the foothills and higher elevated areas. for now. now as

we take a look at futurecast, this shows a really good picture what's to come right around the corner. all the way into the 7:00, 8:00 hour. santa clara valley starts getting hit and areas like fremont down into san jose close to about 0.01 of rain around that point. but then that continues to sweep off into the east. now we're left with about 0.1 of rain down there. snow near the mount hamilton region and quarter inch in the north bay. what's cool about the storm or fascinating is the fact that you can see the center of low pressure system sitting just offshore. they work in a clown clockwise direction and continue to see that circulation moving into this afternoon and overnight hours tonight as it sweeps to the south giving san francisco a close to half inch of rain. down into the santa clara valley top off crease to around a quarter inch. and at least tonight. because by tomorrow morning, there's still some lingering showers on the back end of it and that's mostly along the coast. but we just talked about snow near mount hamilton. that's a pretty cool to mention just a little bit more in total we can see close to around an inch at the peak and a little bit of dusting off close to the santa cruz

mountains too. so lots of changes as we head into this afternoon. but let's take a look at the daytime highs today. we're off to a chilly start and we're off to a chilly finish and really i mean just thinkn't it. two days ago 70s off in the east bay and sunshine. today, it's cloudy as can be already and it's only going to get cooler from here on out really. at least that's what it feels like. grab the jacket by the way before you head out the door, just my friendly reminder to you. down into the santa clara valley we're waking up to a mix of some clouds in the forecast. but those clouds will continue to get a lot thicker in the next couple of hours and actually see some rain like i said just close to that 9:00 hour sweep throughout the south bay and all throughout the rest of the east bay too. we have a big warm-up right right. more on that coming up in a bit. for now over to you, g. >> thank you, jess. i can't believe weather going to see the 80s next week considering we have the wet weather and chilly temperatures today. yes, grab the jacket and umbrella. give yourself a few extra minutes when the rain settles in on the freeways. right now, we're doing all right for the most part. there are a couple of things going on but here's the headlines. busy ride now already san mateo bridge

westbound commuters you are seeing some brake lights as you work your way towards foster city. getting on to 101. now you shouldn't have any troubles northbound 101 from that point. but i'm going to zoom in here and there's a trouble spot just south of 92. so if you are taking 84, working out of mountain view or palo alto definitely run into a few brake lights here, two lanings blocked northbound 101 around holly street. there's a traffic alert in effect. so pretty serious accident reported in that area. minor delays. it's still early. and again we're in that spring break traffic pattern. so a lot less cars on the roadway but just be advised it is getting busy through there. and we're tracking a few brake lights westbound 80 as you work your way into richmond. reed? good morning to those of you getting ready for the walk or run in golden gate park. it turns 154 today. if you are there just before lunch, near the conservatory of flowers, mayor london breed and the city's parks and rec leaders will deliver remarks to celebrate and kick off activities for kids and their families. you can see that starting at 11:30. >> that light show looks

gorgeous. oracle park where the giants will hold their home opener tomorrow against the san diego padres. reliever turned starter jordan hicks will take the mound against san diego's strikeout machine dylan cease. first pitch 1:35. now let's hope it's a better series than their bender with the dodgers. the giants entered yesterday on a three game losing streak. and rookie harrison nook the mound. the san jose native lasted five innings and allowed four runs but with great giants' power comes a great comeback. right? not if shohei ohtani has anything to say about it. 7th inning. yanks one for reason insurance run. the first home run in a dodger uniform. giants newcomer jorge soler made it interesting in the 8th. this is his second home run in two days. but the dodgers hold off the giants, beating them 5-4. ♪ ♪ sounds nice right? how

san francisco within the next 20 minutes or so. some heavier pockets already falling near richmond and up into vallejo. as we head a little bit more south this cold front is so chilly especially in our higher elevation areas we're actually sitting up into mount hamilton with a little bit of a dusting right now. into the santa clara valley we go, like i just mentioned it's still dry and cloudy. but it's going to look a lot different as we take a look at the next couple of hours, futurecast is a great tool right now to show you the rain that's moving in into your local communities within the next couple of hours. here we go into the 8:00 hour, areas like concord a little bit of rain pick up there. snow just north of clearlake and north of -- santa rosa actually. and down into the santa clara valley we go, we continue to watch the system sweep off into the east. giving us a close to around 0.1 just by 11:00 a.m. i'll have more on this storm coming up in a bit. loleta know how long it's going to last and how much you can expect in the local community. gianna, over to you. taking a look at the roadways right now if you're

getting ready to head out the door, live look now at the suspect system bridge. just be careful on the roadways and don't forget the umbrella and that jacket and to give yourself some extra time. what's going to help us though, we're in that spring break traffic pattern. so 6:30, right now and look at that. traffic isn't that bad on 880. looking pretty good on 101. with the exception of that ride on 101 northbound near holly street. we have a traffic alert in effect two lanes are blocked due to a crash. pretty serious crash if they've shut down lanes there for a longer period of time. more than 30 minutes that's when they officially issue a sig alert. so use 280 in the meantime just minor delays through there. well, people in big sur are being asked to clear out of their homes before spring storm brings more rain to the area. now authorities are once again closing highway 1 which was damaged you can see this was from a previous storm last saturday. so part of the highway slipped away and fell into the ocean below. the chp had been leading one way convoys to get people and and out of the area but those convoys have been suspended for today and tomorrow as the rain is expected to move in. that

means residents and businesses are cut off. >> it's just -- absolutely essential that that single lane be made open to the public at the earliest opportunity so the businesses can reopen and employees can be back at work. >> local chamber of commerce says the shutdowns have eliminated about 80% of big sur's work force leading to losses of more than $1 million a day. we are into april and we're still talking about the district 16 race for the u.s. house. so we now know after last month's primary former san jose mayor liccardo is the frontrunner. he's going to preplace retiring congresswoman anna e shoo to beat those going against him but the question is who will he face against him in the general election? that's the real headline. so what is that headline this morning. it's a tie. evan low and joe

simitian deadlocked at exactly 30,249 votes. each . san mateo and santa clara counties will issue the official results by 5:00 p.m. today. what happens next? it's up to the candidates to decide whether to request the recount. otherwise there will be a three way race in november. >> state law basically says that when there's a tie for the two positions that we're talkinabout righby the way, a c requesting a recount has to cover the cost themselves and there's really no assurance that the person who pays for it and requests that recount will see results that they want in their favor. six in ten americans believe that climate change is causing harm in the united states. and that it will get

yellow color moderate rain currently falling. in the peninsula that's the most active right now. the time 6:42 and this system is going to eventually move offinto the east impacting the santa clara valley and the mount hamilton already seeing some snow in the east bay too. but let's take a look at mount hamilton because in total, what we're expecting to see after the storms sweep through is about an inch of snow to the peak. so it's going to be a beautiful light dusting that we're going to see up there. you might even be able to see it down into the santa clara valley as we head into our forecast tomorrow. once things start to clear up. this morning throughout the bay we're waking up to rainy skies and that will continue to sweep to the east in the early morning commute hours. grab the umbrella and the jacket if you are heading out the door, a cool one for us today. this area of low pressure is a cold front and you can see the center of it right here. it's continuing to swirl its way down to the south and in the evening hours tonight giving about a half inch of rain near san francisco. just by 8:00 p.m. and close to about an inch all the way up into the north bay. as the system continues to sweep off into the east though, we're going to be left with some unsettled weather in our

early morning hours tomorrow. in total we'll get close to an inch but not actually past it in the north bay. today and tomorrow the pollen count is moderate. not the worst, not best but this weekend as we start to dry up it will start to actually get a little bit worse. polln't count is still allergy season and in full force but let's take a step back and talk more about today. it's a cool chilly day for us today here in the bay area. our daytime highs are only sitting in the 50s. anywhere from antioch over into livermore. for our friends along the peninsula too. think about it. immean just gosh, two days ago we were talking about sunshine and 70s and now these clouds are starting to roll in to the santa clara valley. and soon we're going to start seeing rain right around the corner in that community too. but let's take a quick look at what's happening as we head into the next seven days. it is cool for us today. but i mean, gosh, look at the rest of this week. we start to dry up in the weekend and sunshine around the corner into early next week and 80s in the forecast too as we head into next wednesday.

gianna? my gosh jess, hard to believe that 80s are just around the corner because we've got a first alert weather day. busy on the roadways. so here's a live look at conditions at the san mateo bridge and you can see it's a little crowded right now westbound as you head over towards 101. not too bad though. we are in the spring break traffic pattern so traffic is still moving along at the limit. at least in some spots it's going to slow down just a little bit as you get a little closer to 101 this morning. okay. taking a look at traffic elsewhere. zoom in just south of there on 101 working northbound near holly street. a traffic alert in effect there. pretty serious crash blocking lanes. things are busy as you work your way in and around the area. a few extra minutes taking that ride north 101 near holly street. but again, here's the good news. again, with less cars on the roadway makes it a lot easier to kind of squeeze through the backup. 280 is all clear if you want to use that instead. working there in both directions. well, that's a look at your morning drive. we're going to shift gears though and the new cbs hit "elsbeth" is back. the colorful lawyer is now cornering criminals in new york. the show returns tonight

with back-to-back episodes and some special guest stars so joining us live this morning is stage film and tv actor carrie preston who plays "elsbeth," welcome, good morning. >> good morning to you. thanks for having me. >> oh my god so glad you are here, number one you had me at true blood blood. >> that was a good one. boy, that one changed my life. >> oh my gosh. no, you are -- incredibly talented actress the i mean, and then on "elsbeth" both with "the good wife" and the good fight and now you have your own spin-off and series. tell us what it's been like to kind of grow from that into your own show. >> i started playing the character 14 years ago and you don't think they're going to lead to anchoring a show of your own when you do the guest spots. a total thrill and surprise and very profound and humbling and very firing and you know, and thrilling at the same time. and tonight, we have

two back-to-back new episodes. you see genre cow ski in this one and we have jesse tyler ferguson also in the one that airs at 10:00. so we -- every episode get to play with these incredible guest stars that are, you know, coming on and joining myself and wendell pierce and cara patterson who are the series regulars. so we feel like we get a new series regular every year. i mean, every episode with these -- actors. >> and you know wendell pierce was on the show just a few weeks ago. you know talking about "elsbeth" and you know of just with all the new guest stars coming on as well. it's fun combination of sort of quirky and then fighting crime. >> yeah, definitely is. it's like -- "elsbeth" has been dropped down in the middle of a -- kind of hard boiled police procedural. so he she brings a bit of circus the that. that alchemy is i think really fun and creates some -- some comedy, but also has some

poignancy to it. each episode is self-contained. you follow one criminal and you know who they are at the beginning. so it's -- really more of a how done it instead of a whodunit. >> and carrie, you have a new backdrop right? i mean the show good wife went from chicago and now you are inew york. what's it been like having sort of iconic locations for your show. >> i live in new york city. it's been fun for me. to see the city through her eyings, i feel like seeing it fresh and now and like i did when i first moved here all the years ago. that's been really fun. and we -- you know we shot at rockefeller center and we're out and we're on -- going all around the city. all the boroughs and we were even out on, you know, long island and we're shooting in the hamptons. been really fun to you know, explore the city in a way that i have not done in a long time. >> the show really is a lot of fun as well. carrie preston, thank you so much for waking up early and being here with us. you can catch the supersized

double episode return of"elsbeth" tonight at 9:00 and streaming on paramount+ and on kpix. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. time now for the money watch report. apple services have been restored after a brief global outage that lasted a little over an hour. yesterday, thousands of users reported being unable to access the app store as well as apple tv and apple music. no word from apple on what caused the problem. and get ready for a spotify price hike later this year. a new bloomberg report says the streaming service plans to increase prices in the u.s. and overseas. individual plans are expected to jump about $1 a month while family plans go up by $2. now to small businesses pushing for action. the trump era tax change dropped rates for american companies. that code is set to expire at the end of next year. but only for small businesses. so let's get a little back story here. the 2017 provision cut taxes for larger companies from 35% to

21%. smaller companies also saw a reduction but only from 39% to 28%. the national coalition small business for america's future is urging lawmakers to not let the law lapse. they also say the tax cut needs a revamp or they're doomed. >> in the end, the taxing system in this country needs to be perceived by americans as being fair. >> small business is the backbone of the country. we employ half the people in this country. >> well, the coalition says new language needs to be carved out in congress to help close the gap between small businesses and large corps rations. the powerball jackpot is climbing even higher; there was no big winner last night for the billion dollar prize. that means the jackpot for saturday night's drawing goes up to an estimated $1.23 billion. it's the fourth largest jackpot in powerball history. and while no one hit the jumbo jackpot, two tickets matching five numbers minus the powerball were sold in southern california. one

ticket was sold at an albertson's in san dimas. the other in oxnard at the bottle shop. each ticket is back and forth $1.6 million. so make sure you check those tickets. now if you want to check the tickets here's the latest winning numbers. 11, 38, 41, 62, 65 and the powerball number was 15. you guys i didn't play for the last few days because i've been homesick. but i'm buying a ticket tonight. >> yea. >> me as well and i actually had to step in as the resident lotto expert with you being out. and max and i discussed this so it's a b. that we're talking about right now. a billion dollars. but you are not going to be a billionaire because you get taxed like three times. if you are a california resident. and so you are going to bring home like $400 million. >> oh. >> darn. >> i'm at the pathetic stage i'm like you know what? i could really use new floors and i hate the floors. just $35,000, $50,000. just throw me a bone lotto. >> $200. i could cruise that. >> be fine. new pair of shoes. >> it's all.

>> a $20 i forget that i left in the jeans. that would really make my day. >> every little bit counts even $400 million or $200 right? show a journalist some extra love todd. april 4th is national hug a news person day in case you didn't know. a huge shout-out to all the hard working journalists out there. here's some fun facts. we don't know why it started but it's been celebrated since at least 1998 and journalists wow have been around long before then. the merriam-webster dictionary says the word newsman dates back to 1596. times have changed haven't they. >> a national personal space day. i don't know to i want to walk down the streets today. >> don't hug us today. >> gets a little too close, just start coughing. >> we would ask you to do is to do a little research and maybe google number of journalists in jail around the world. it went up this year. also really look at where you get your news content and if you want to hug a journalist maybe do so in

that way. get informed about on your it. in your community and support the local newspaper and broadcast. really important at this time offerer and at this time in our world east history to do that. still ahead -- ♪ ♪ >> little music to start the thursday morning. the kids impressed me when i got a chance to hang out with

you know what's brilliant? boring. think about it. boring is the unsung catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and hurtles it into space? boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start up. because it's smart, dependable, and steady. all words you want from your bank. for nearly 160 years, pnc bank has been brilliantly boring so you can be happily fulfilled...

which is pretty un-boring if you think about it.

[ applause ] okay, you ready to rock? i am. this week's bay area backstage takes us to san jose where a group of kids are rocking out and ready to light up the montgomery theater in cmt's "school of rock" the musical. the show tells the story of a misguided rocker who unexpectedly ends up teaching a group of kids at a private school. they form a band and together, they learn that through music, they can build bridges. and for some of the youngperformers, learning this role meant taking on an extra skill. >> our name. that is rock & roll. >> they sing. they dance. they act. but there's one more skill these kids need to be in this musical. they also need to know how to rock. san jose's children's musical theater

will be taking on "school of rock" for the first time. and four members of the cast are in the band. cj, donnie, hope and falcon will all be playing six to seven songs live leading the show. some learning to play their instruments just months ago. how long have you been playing the bass? >> i learned it for the show. >> balancing a busy rehearsal schedule in the middle of being just kids. >> soccer and this band. >> you fit in homework? >> yeah. >> here we go. ready? begin. >> artistic director of cmt and school of rock kevin hauge, he says seeing the kids handle all this responsibility and a marquee show is impressive. >> we try to teach extra skills whether it's tap dancing or maybe it's singing more classically trained or learning how to sing pop. in this case, we're so proud that our young musicians have brought their

instruments into a studio, some of them having played very little if at all. and they've been able to create true musical magic. ♪ >> and the adults that star in the show, well, they think so too. >> the kids are fantastic. it's so much fun getting to hang with them. >> that is cj. he stars as dewey. his role was made famous by jack black in the movie. but on broadway, it was made famous by alex brightman. >> that's not my point. my point is -- the man. >> a bay area native and cmt alum, who was also nominated for a tony for his role as dewey. >> how come none of you told me you could play music? >> alex brightman started here when he was 10 years old and through that time, he grew into a remarkable performer obviously. he reminds me so much of the kids i get to work with in this production. and the fact that they really believe in going the extra

mile, just as he has always done. >> from band practice to full cast rehearsals, these kids are ready to rock and celebrate the power of music. well, "school of rock" runs april 12th to the 21st at the montgomery theater in san jose. so come on out and support the show. these amazing kids and there's 14 kids total in the show. i wish i could shout them all out. but they're all so talented and there's this young girl sadie who plays beautifully. but picking up an instrument for a role and all that i mean all the pressure, that's one of the lines from the show. it's real cool. >> all the pressure. so and i also have to give a shout-out to the parents. you among them who work your guts out day and night to get your kids -- lot of people don't know but gianna is up in the 2:00 a.m. hour but she's -- been driving her son to these practices just so much investment and we're prude of you as a mom. >> your kids find a passion and
