School of Rock Metairie/New Orleans is proud to announce that two of our students have made the cut! Kaleigh Bourque and Jude Hughes will be on the School of Rock AllStar Tour. Kaleigh will be on the Midwest team and Jude on the West Coast team. Both are two-time AllStars! We are very proud of each of them for this accomplishment.

Every year, the School of Rock AllStars program unites the most talented, dedicated, and passionate student musicians from across the globe—and this year’s auditions were nothing short of extraordinary.

Out of 70,000 students, nearly 900 were nominated by their instructors to audition. That’s 900 students who’ve already reached an elite level of musicianship, dedication, and growth within their schools. From there, nearly 500 advanced to the final round. After a series of video submissions and live auditions, fewer than 200 have been selected to join the official AllStars Tour.

This is the highest level of achievement a student can reach at School of Rock—and just being nominated is a massive accomplishment. Every step of this process takes courage, preparation, and the kind of drive that defines a true musician.

The AllStars program offers students a once-in-a-lifetime chance to tour the country, perform on legendary stages, and live like a professional musician. It’s more than just a tour—it’s a transformative experience that builds confidence, community, and lifelong memories.

Mark your calendars: May 13 we’ll reveal this year’s AllStars Tour cities and show dates! Get ready to grab your tickets before they sell out—this is a tour you won’t want to miss.

Congratulations to Kaleigh and Jude!
