Youth Rock Band is a chance for you to shine and show off your skills like never before. The cost for each semester is $250. Additionally, new students pay a $15 registration fee.
When you join us, you’ll be part of a tight-knit community that is passionate about music. You’ll engage in weekly sessions with a skilled instructor and fellow band members who share the same love for music as you do. Together, you’ll explore and master a range of instruments like guitar, bass, drums, voice, keyboard, and more, creating a comprehensive musical journey that will take you to new heights.
Winter Recitals 2024
Saturday, December 14th & 21st
Recitals are incredible opportunities for our students to set goals and achieve them, while expressing and sharing our love for music with one another and the community.
The number of students participating will determine how many shows we have and the official showtimes. Each student performs in one show. Current projection: 12:30pm & 2:30pm both Saturdays. We will have this solidified by November 1st, as long as everyone registers by October 20th. You can register for recital by clicking the button below:
This will be our 14th recital showcase and we’re looking forward to hearing our students sing and play their hearts out, as usual!
Our recitals are free and open to the public.
For students participating in the Winter Recital, there is a $20 registration fee per student to cover costs. If a student wants to perform in multiple mediums (i.e. voice and piano, separately, or an additional duet), the registration fee is $40.
If you or your children would like to participate in this recital, please let your teacher know ASAP so that you can begin choosing your performance piece!
