- Show Sign-up Information
Our priority is to keep each show-band appropriately balanced with players, to honor scheduling needs of families, and to teach you something new and interesting in a healthy and safe environment. There is no advanced or beginner performance program show, as each show will have something awesome to offer all levels and ages! :)
Note that you are not guaranteed your first show choice. Therefore your second show choice must be equally interesting and possible for you. If there is a show that you cannot participate in due to a scheduling conflict throughout the season, or if you have any other special requests, please let us know in the "Special Notes" section of the sign-up form so that we can address your submission appropriately in advance before cast announcements go out. Thank you!
- Scheduling Policies
Don't forget, if you're taking the Fall 2014 season off, you MUST give us 30 days notification in order for us to freeze your enrollment.

RESPECT the ONES who ROCK
Women Who Rock! (Janis, LORDE, and more!)
Directed by Matt Chase
(Mondays 6PM - 9PM)
Ladies and Gentlemen! This Fall, School of Rock Baltimore encourages you to sign up and pay tribute to some of the greatest women in the history of rock! "Women Who Rock!" will illustrate the important roles women have played in culture and the world through rock music. From the roots of rock, to Folk, Punk, alt rock, and every genre along the way, great female artists like Joni Mitchell, Loretta Lynn, Janis Joplin, Joan Jett, Tori Amos, Elisabeth Frazier, Bjork, Kate Bush, St. Vincent, Ani Difranco, LORDE, and many more have defied cultural and industry barriers, enlightening the world with innovative music. As a show that's got something for everybody, not only will we honor the great songwriters and vocalists, but we'll study gifted instrumentalists like Orianthi, Karen Carpenter, Gail Ann Dorsey and more!

(Tuesdays 6PM - 9PM)
Dave Grohl is a musical beast, a legend, and a rock star! The guy has majorly shaped what Rock n' Roll is today, and so much more. From writing and performing as the drummer of NIRVANA, to redefining pop/rock as the front man and guitarist of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl is a rock ambassador, a major collaborator among the pantheon of rock legends, and a musical role-model who in so many ways embodies the innovative and revolutionary spirit that Rock is all about. Therefore, we at the School of Rock have no choice but to play his greatest songs this Fall Season, such as "Everlong", "All My Life", "Rope", "This Is a Call", "Learn To Fly", "Breakout", "Walk", and many more, including epic song collaborations with Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana, Them Crooked Vultures, Paul McCartney, Cronos, and Stevie Nicks!
the R A D I O H E A D showDirected by Dan Ryan
(Wednesdays 6PM - 9PM)
That's right folks. It's time to play some Radiohead! And we're not just going to play "Creep" and call it a night. From the rock epics of Pablo Honey, The Bends, and OK Computer to the genre infused masterpieces of Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to The Thief, In Rainbows, and The King of Limbs, to any of those amazing B-sides in between, this fall we'll be picking the best songs of Radiohead's entire, extraordinary catalogue! As a band often compared to other ground-breaking artists like Pink Floyd and The Beatles, Radiohead's music crosses genres and pushes our collective culture way into the future, inspiring people from all walks of life, all over the world. With the grooviest beats, the wild vocals of Thom Yorke, killer bass-lines, raucous guitar-lines, and plenty of parts for keyboardists, this show has it all!
The One Hit Wonders Show!
Directed by Ian Viera
(Saturdays 12:30PM - 2PM)
Here's to the songs we'll never forget, and the artists we wish we knew more about! This fall we've got a one of a kind show all about one of a kind songs. Exploring a full range of the One Hit Wonder phenomena, our Saturday show will feature culture defining classics like "My Sharona", "Turning Japanese", "Come On Eileen", "500 Miles", "What's Up", while also including the much loved one-time hit-singles of now widely recognizable bands like Faith No More, A-ha, Blind Melon, Semisonic and more. As we dive back into an evolving popular culture that emerged from the roots of rock until today, we'll play exciting classics from many diverse genre's, we'll learn surprising new songs you may have never heard before, and we'll open our ears and minds to all the artists that deserve our appreciation!
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!
*NEW PROGRAM!*
This Fall, we also have a special show for our amazing Rock School graduates who will be transitioning into the the performance program. Congratulations to you all! The following show is invite only, so stay tuned, as we'll be sending an email out shortly.
Ruby Tuesday- The Best of the Rolling Stones
Directed by Keith Adams
(Tuesdays 4:15PM - 5:45PM)
The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest pioneers of rock music, and an inspiration to all of us. After more than 50 years of playing together they are still rocking the world like no one's business! This fall we'll be picking around 10 of their most memorable tunes and playing them back to back in two unforgettable performances at the end of the season. From Songs like "Wild Horses", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Ruby Tuesday", "Get Off My Cloud", "Gimme Shelter", and so many more, be prepared to strut like Mick Jagger, keep a mean groove like Charlie Watts, or rip a solo like Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards. See you there!
