British Invasion Summer Camp is a five-day camp, Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 3:00 pm, with
a half-hour lunch break each day. This camp is designed for kids 9-17 years of
age who want to play music and perform live on stage, all while exploring the
incredible music of the bands that invaded the United States and changed the
music here forever! This camp will include a study of not only the
original invaders such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, and The Who, but
will include much more! Campers will also
learn about and perform music from other British artists such as Led Zeppelin,
Pink Floyd, Queen, Cream, and The Yardbirds, etc! If they came over from Britain to the United
States, it is possible that we could perform their songs live on stage! At the camp, we will choose a variety of songs
from these bands, and with input from the campers that will allow each musician's
appreciation of these bands to grow and prepare them to perform live on stage
at the end of the week at an authentic Memphis rock venue. Whether you are a beginner
or advanced musician, we will keep you engaged, challenged, and totally ready
to rock out at the show on Friday night! We will spend
the majority of the time working on the chosen songs and getting ready to
perform the concert at the end of the camp for friends and family. Participants
can expect to learn more about their instrument, how to use professional gear
in the rehearsal room and on stage, and how to perform the songs in the show. In
addition, they will also learn how to critically analyze music and how to
recreate, as close as possible, the sound that was created by the original
artist. We will also discuss the art of stagecraft and presence (performing in
front of an audience), as well as how to get the right tone and sound out of
the instrument. Campers will learn how to work with sound engineers and how to
set up for a performance. In addition to the musical aspects, campers will also
learn teamwork, accountability, goal setting, communication skills, and will
have a great sense of accomplishment and confidence for the hard work and
discipline it will take to make the concert happen at the end of the week.
Campers will be directed by members of our awesome faculty, and will have assistance
and interaction from camp counselors made up of our more experienced and
advanced School of Rock students. Come experience music education the School of
Rock way and live out your Rock & Roll dreams! This camp is SOLD OUT!
