Time to Spice Things Up This Fall!

Here's Everything You Autumn Know...

Our Summer ROCKED!

We have had one of the most fun, energetic, talented, and rockin' group of Campers and Interns ever this summer!! It was 10 weeks of full speed, raucous, non-stop music, and we could not have asked for a better Summer Camp Season! Even better, so many campers have already decided to stick around this fall and continue their musical journey with us. If your camper isn't ready for their experience to end, give us a call.. we've got room for them in our Band!

Back To School

We can't believe fall is right around the corner - can you? Fall Breeze and Autumn Leaves, Halloween Frights and Cooler Nights! But that also means our Fall Performance Season is almost here. We have some great new music themes for you to choose from this October - Black Sabbath, The Clash, Soundgarden, Piano Rock, and The Dave Matthews Band! Stay tuned for more details and rehearsal schedules. The sign-up email will be sent on Tuesday, September 14th at 7PM SHARP!!

If you have any questions regarding the audition process, requirements, or time commitment, please let Brian and Dante know!

Safety Rocks!

We're excited about the vaccine too! However, creating a COVID-19 safe environment remains our #1 priority for students and staff when they are in the building.  As for now we are continuing to monitor the situation and will be keeping the course.

  • We require masks while in the building. All persons entering the school are given a symptom and temperature check
  • All persons entering the school immediately wash their hands and hand sanitizer is used frequently
  • We have barriers between vocalists and the band in our groups and a barrier is in all lessons
  • We disinfect all high touch surfaces with hospital grade disinfectant using a special misting tool that gets in every crevice, nook and cranny, and disinfect cases that our brought in by students when they arrive.

In other words, we're serious about safety!  If you think your child might do better in person, give us a call and let's give it a try.  You may also schedule a time to come see it all in person to gauge your comfort level. 

Thank You for Your Patience - We're Running As Fast As We Can

We are delighted to say this is our busiest summer and back-to-school enrollment ever!  However, with that comes a tightening of the schedule and a need for more teachers.  We are super picky about who we bring on staff and so things are a bit tighter than we would like.  If you know any musicians who would like a great gig, send them our way.  And in the meantime, please know we are working hard to get you on the schedule.  

We're Closed Monday September 6th

This holiday has already been configured into your tuition and so there will be no make ups offered.  Have a wonderful holiday!
