Hey, Annapolis Fam!!
Our Summer season is right around the corner and we have an amazing show line-up that we are excited to share with you all! Please be sure to read through the entirety of this email so you will be up to date on the latest School of Rock Annapolis information.
Enrollment is ongoing. Plans DO NOT cancel at the end of every season. If you wish to cancel or change plans a written notice is needed.
We will be placing students in the show that will be educational for the student's musical and social growth. Not every student will get their first choice show. Bands will be cast not only based on first come first serve responses but by instrumentation as well.
*Remember that students in Rock 101, Performance, House Band, and Adult programs are not automatically added to the same rehearsal time that they are currently enrolled in.*
School of Rock is a year-round program. We break the year into 4-month seasons in order to set new goals for our students and change rehearsal material each season.
*Our 2026 Spring into 2026 Summer Prep Week starts Monday, June 1st and runs through Saturday, June 6th. During this time, School of Rock Annapolis will be closed for lessons, classes, and rehearsals!

Here’s how we keep you enrolled and on track:
Flexible Scheduling: We can adjust lesson times to fit your summer plans.
Makeup Lessons: Miss a week or two? Use makeup passes so your student doesn’t fall behind.
Pro-Rated Billing: Planning extended travel? We’ll adjust tuition so you only pay for the time you’re here.
Proactive Planning: Share your schedule in advance and we’ll build a customized plan around it.
Whether you're away briefly or for a longer stretch, we’ll work with you to keep the music going all summer long.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING A SHOW:
What do you NEED to become a BETTER musician?
What genre have you not done yet?
What did your private instructor suggest?
What did your show director suggest?
Don't pick a show that all your friends are in! Be selfish and pick the show that will help you grow the most as a musician. You will make friends and most likely know some of the students in your new show.
LISTEN BEFORE YOU SIGN UP! KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR!
Trust your instructors to choose what will work best for you.
Unsure which program/band is the best for you? We have you covered! Give us a shout. We'd love to help

PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
Blues Legends - (FEATURED SHOW)
The Blues is a genre that transcends time and cultural boundaries, and has influenced, in some capacity, nearly every song that has come since its original inception. This show is a crash course in the great blues players over the years and within its setlist, it shows how the torch was passed throughout the years. From the original blues pioneers to the '80s blues revival and beyond, this show is not only a great lesson in instrument improvisation, but also why the blues will never fade away! Traditional artists like Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, and Albert King will be showcased, along with more contemporary blues masters like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Page, and Gary Clark Jr. Throughout the many changes in blues music over the years, it still remains the most influential genre from which all modern rock is derived. One of the greatest aspects of the genre is the way it remembers its creators, innovators, and pioneers. It truly is music that will continue to stand the test of time as we celebrate those that we call “Blues Legends”.
Arean Rock Arena Rock refers to the emergence of rock ‘n’ roll as big business in the 1970s and early 1980s. Advances in music production technology, along with the proliferation of higher fidelity FM radio stations, resulted in the arrival of a slicker, more commercial rock sound, popularized by bands such as Journey, Boston, Styx, Heart, Queen, Foreigner, Kansas, Fleetwood Mac, REO Speedwagon, Grand Funk Railroad, Toto, Cheap Trick, and more. These artists, and the growing music industry behind them, brought Rock ‘n’ Roll out of the clubs and into the arenas and stadiums. No matter the bands, the songs of the Arena Rock show are the true stars, and anyone who’s had the joy to sing along with this music in its intended environment will surely agree. This is catchy music that is meant to be turned up loud! Guitarists will find challenging parts lurking around every corner. Keyboard players will be showcased heavily. Vocalists will be challenged with belting leads and rich harmonies. Drummers will learn the true meaning of bombastic, over-the-top performances. Bass players will get their hands on powerful and melodic bass lines which compliment their 6-string counterparts. This is a great show for all instruments!
