Live the Rock Dream for Two Weeks!! Summer Rock Boot Camp is a two week intensive version of our Playground Rock Academy where you join a band, rehearse daily with one of our professional rock coaches, learn a lot and most importantly HAVE FUN!! At the end of ‘boot camp’ you will have learned several new songs, music theory, rock history, and basic performance skills. Playground Battle of the Bands Once we’ve completed the four sessions of Summer Rock, we’ll host a ‘Battle of the Bands’ for all the summer groups to compete for bragging rights, a Best Band trophy and a great prize package. Get Started THIS SUMMER! – Keep Rockin’ this Fall! Playground Rock will continue by offering 9-week sessions throughout the school year so you can continue your Rock and Roll education. As you and your band progress, we’ll get you playing in other venues all over the Emerald Coast area. Q&A:What happens each day? Classes will cover song writing, instrumental techniques, rehearsal techniques, and performance techniques. Campers will also receive instruction in recording basics and band management.
