Veneers are totally the new grills. For the uninitiated, grills are one of the popular trends with many hip-hop and R&B artists is to get a snap-on "grill", typically made of gold or platinum and occasionally encrusted with diamonds or other gems worth tens of thousands of dollars, for their teeth.

"That is why my wife and I host this event each summer to purchase instruments so that all children have the opportunity to learn about music and showcase their natural talents."
