"Let's Rock 2009": Rock n Roll Camps For Girls and Boys Aug 3 - 20, 2009
Lets Rock 2009 will be held at Parkrose High School this year 12003 NE Shaver St, Portland, OR 97220
Parkrose High School is a modern facility with fully equipped music rooms and a large auditorium. Though we will miss the atmosphere at the MLC, we’re excited to be in a new space with more equipment than before!
The Let’s Rock 2009 program will include starting your own band, rehearsing and writing songs, performance opportunities, guest artist/speaker and a rock music history survey
Activities have included: group lessons on drums, guitar, bass, keys and vocals. Songwriting and recording workshops, band rehearsals, and two performances in front of over 200 audience members as part of the three week program.
Attendees of past performances have been impressed with the kids chops and performing skills, prompting comments such as, "....you can't imagine the show those kids put on. It was amazing! Creative! Individual! The place was packed with proud parents all with video cameras, digital cameras, etc. Each band actually performed songs they wrote themselves. It was really something,".
Rocking the Youth for a fifth consecutive year!
Offering an intensive, fun opportunity to develop musical and social skills while playing rock music has drawn increased interest from kids who want to rock. The "Lets Rock" camp attendance increased every year from 2005 to 2008, primarily due to word of mouth spread by happy rock n roll campers. The camp is set to burst at the seems with interest from future attendees .
'"Let's Rock" is something different in the way of rock n roll music camps in Portland; the focus is on music and community. Any musical kid is invited to check it out. We have a huge facility and excellent staff, it 's not as expensive as many private programs and we offer scholarships. "
