Queen

Saturday (Morning) 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Suitable for ages 11-18 Queen became the major staple of theatrics in rock music. No other band was able to be as immaculate as they were. Not only did they have theater-like eccentricity, but they were also a band that showcased their difficult, precise, and compositional greatness. With Freddie Mercury leading the charge, each song delivers with amazing vocal harmonies, ripping guitar solos, and unbelievably fun challenges for everyone! This is a primarily advanced show, so it is deeply encouraged for all advanced players to join this one, but any beginner / intermediate player is definitely not discouraged from joining however! Tackling songs like Bicycle Race, Bohemian Rhapsody, Ogre Battle, and Stone Cold Crazy won't be an easy task, but it will be a fun experience! Queen songs also have their easiest access point for any inexperienced player to thrive! If Another One Bites the Dust can be done by little kids, then it is possible for anyone to join! Every vocalist, keyboardist, bassist, drummer, and guitarist will be challenged to great heights in this show!

The Best Of The 80's

Mondays 5:30-7:30 Suitable for ages 11-18 Ready for the cheese? The 80s was a time-period that cherished the pizazz, innovation, and fun – completely impossible to ignore. For a beginner show, this is an absolutely fun experience for everyone involved!
