Program Description
Join the AMLA After School Rockband, where you'll be part of an exciting musical journey that combines creativity, discipline, and performance. The ensemble meets every Tuesday and Wednesday from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, offering a dynamic environment where you'll collaborate with fellow musicians to bring a predetermined repertoire to life. This repertoire includes original songs crafted by students from our Songwriting program, along with selected pieces spanning various genres.
As a member of the rock band, you'll have the opportunity to perform twice a year in major concerts and may be booked for up to three additional summer performances. Your commitment to rehearsals is crucial, as consistency is key to delivering high-quality performances. We expect you to attend at least two rehearsals per week to ensure you're fully prepared.
We're looking for high school students who are not only proficient in their instrument but also show dedication to practice, maintain good academic standing, and possess a solid understanding of basic melody, chord structures, and rhythm. An interest in exploring and performing across multiple genres is a must.
If you're passionate about music and ready to take your skills to the next level, the AMLA After School Rockband is the perfect place for you.
