Have you ever dreamed of jamming on a huge stage under 500 lights with all your fans cheering you on to rock-n-roll glory? Have you ever wondered what is really takes to produce and perform in a huge rock concert? Do you think you have what it takes? Maybe its time you find out…
PJ Olsson’s Rock Camp is Back for 2012!
Simply put, PJ’s Rock Camp is a total musical production immersion experience for kids. In just two grueling weeks, campers are transformed from mere mortals to genuine rock stars, but be warned, the journey may change them forever. Our goal is nothing less than to provide these young musicians a life-changing, real-world experience that has a profound emotional impact on their lives. This ain’t school mom and dad, but it is education and its fun!.
What to expect?
Ten fantastic days of total immersion in everything it takes to produce a live stage show and perform in a huge rock concert; forming bands, discovering styles, breaking down music, relentless rehearsing, producing a live event, solving technical issues, stage management, event marking, and a great variety of workshops to match specific interests of the kids including guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, basic musical theory, beats and rhythm, vocal harmony, live sound, and more.
The Rock Camp is very fortunate to be partnered with the Rozsa Center for the Performing Arts giving kids access to excellent rehearsal spaces and professional equipment in a safe and creative space. Campers need to bring their own instruments and amps, although we’ll have some gear lying around too.
This camp is not for absolute beginners, campers must have enough experience singing or with their instrument to learn and perform music. We focus is on bringing kids of similar tastes together to form bands, then put them through a rigorous rehearsal schedule. We also have limits on how many of each instrument type we can have, so there will be auditions to get into the 2012 camp.
