Pop Rock Camp with Rhode to Broadway

Aug 14·9:00 AM

Get ready to rock the stage! This week-long camp, led by Ruby Costa and the Rhode to Broadway staff, is designed for students with a passion for pop and rock music and who are eager to take their performance skills to the next level in a fun, supportive, and collaborative environment. Throughout the camp, students will have the opportunity to learn and rehearse popular songs while strengthening their vocal technique, stage presence, and overall musicianship. Got an instrument? Bring it! We especially encourage musicians to bring their instruments and actively participate in the ensemble experience, as the program emphasizes both individual growth and group collaboration. The camp will culminate in an informal showcase performance, giving participants the chance to share what they have worked on with family and friends. Your summer soundtrack starts here!
