ROCK BAND

This will be a one semester course. Students will learn how to play their instruments all together as a group, like in a real rock band! Once you register for the class, you will be contacted by the Center to attend an audition sometime in July. Being a part of this class depends on the students' abilities and proficiency with their instrument. We are looking for all positions: rhythm guitar, lead guitar, keyboard, bass, drums, vocalist.
However, we will only be able to pick 2 per instrument, so it will be important to register early if interested.

-
