Come Celebrate MAKE MUSIC DAY with School of Rock Silver Spring next month, Thursday, June 21st.  What is Make Music Day you may ask?  Make Music Day is a free celebration of music around the world on June 21st. Launched in 1982 in France as the Fête de la Musique, it is now held on the same day in more than 800 cities in 120 countries.

Completely different from a typical music festival, Make Music is open to anyone who wants to take part. Every kind of musician — young and old, amateur and professional, of every musical persuasion — pours onto streets, parks, plazas, and porches to share their music with friends, neighbors, and strangers in a free and open celebration of music.
Silver Spring SOR will join the celebration by participating in the largest live performance ever of David Bowie's Rebel, Rebel, which will also be played simultaneously by other School of Rock students around the globe.  It will be a Facebook Live event as well.  In the spirit of the day, we will set up on the sidewalk in front of the school and jam a bit before the live event at 8PM.  All our students who would like to be a part of this will be asked to learn a part on Rebel, Rebel prior to the event so they can participate.  How fun is that?
Stay tuned for event details coming out soon!  In the meantime mark your calendar now for Make Music Day 2018 on
June 21st 6 to 9PM.
