Come celebrate bands in the 'Alternative Rock' or 'Grunge' genre of the '90s!
ABOUT THIS CAMP
When Nirvana's song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' became an international sensation in late 1991, major record labels began searching ferverishly for similar artists who could further capitalize on the massive intereste in this new 'alternative' sound. The results was a abrupt shift away form the formulaic Pop and Hair Metal anthems of the 1980s to the gritty and dynamic music of Grunge. Since the music industry wasn't quite sure what would capture the public's attention in this new landscape, major labels began signing and promoting all sorts of artists with idiosyncratic and unique sounds to serve as an 'alternative' to what had previously captured mainstream populariy. Bands such as Pavement, Beck, Hole, Cake, Radiohead, Blur, Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, and Belly drew from the influence of the underground rock and punk scene of the 1980s, and found quick success with music fans who were eager for new sounds and styles.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Students are not permitted to leave the facility at ANY time on their own, and must be picked up by a parent or guardian at the end time. We love our parents, siblings, friends and family members, but please understand that we can only allow students and staff in the school for camps. Please note that campers may rotate through and play different instruments throughout the camp, depending on the needs of the group. They may not be playing their first instrument of choice. Please review the school's Code of Conduct with your child prior to the first day of camp. A fully completed and signed waiver is required in order to attend and participate in programs at School of Rock. After registering for camp, please sign the required waivers on the School of Rock client portal - Pike13, which you can access from your confirmation email. Unfortunately we are unable to accomodate campers under 12 years of age. Students must be at least 12 years old at the start of camp for this camp. However, please check out our Rock 101 camps for kids 7-11 years old. If you are registering multiple children, such as siblings or friends, please note that we are unable to guarantee that they will be in the same group, as students are placed together based on experience, instrumentation needs, and other factors.
PARKING / DROP OFF
We are fortunate enough to have a large parking lot. Please be attentive when dropping off your kids as it gets quite busy at pick up and drop off times. Please bring your child inside on the first day of camp to sign in. A parent or guardian must be present to pick up each camper.
