SCHOOL OF ROCK FEST http://schoolofrockfest.com/

Having our own music festival allows us to bring in main stage national acts to
inspire our students, populate the side stages with our local schools playing the greatest music ever made, & provide slots for original bands comprised of
our students and staff, as well as upcoming bands we want to support.

Our second annual national School of Rock festival wil be held June 27-29 on the Delaware River at Penn's Landing, Philadelphia PA.
SCHOOL OF ROCK ALL-STARS, and a handful of national acts will be performing all weekend!!!

On the side stages will be local Paul Green School of Rock branches from as close as Chatham & as far away as San Francisco, playing classic music from ZAPPA to
ZEPPELIN.

Proceeds from this event will benefit THE PAUL GREEN SCHOOL OF ROCK
SCHOLARSHIP FUND, "giving kids the gift of rock since 1999."

This will be the second of many SORFests, and we hope in our small way to
capture what is true and beautiful in rock music and celebrate it for many years to come!

Chatham kids killed it at the Led Zeppelin show December 14 & 15! Here's a video of the closing song...Stairway to Heaven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMyaQUBAf2k&feature=related
