Highway to Rock is a performance based program designed to get students on a real stage in front of a real audience. With the aid of a musical director students will attend weekly rehearsals with their band mates, rehearse tunes, and work on skill to create a memorable performance. During these rehearsals they will learn not only how to play in a band, but will acquire skills in teamwork and advanced musical skills in harmony and song structure.

 GROUP DETAILS

 Headliners

The HTR headliner sessions are for students who have played in the program before or have completed a (very informal) audition with our musical director.  Headlines will perform 8 to 12 pre-selected songs paying tribute to rock stars such as Foo Fighter, Tom Petty, Heart, AC/DC and other classic rockers. Headliners should be able to play by ear and learn songs on their own. 

Space is limited in headliners and bands fill up quick.

Openers

The Opener sessions are open to students who can play through a whole song but may need help from time to time figuring out their parts.  Openers will have a goal of 4 or 5 songs for the final performance, and players may rotate through the set. Openers also may be asked to try to play other instruments from time to time to round out a performance.

Starters

As a HTR Starter you will have a weekly band practice/group lesson on voice, guitar, bass, or drums (sometime all 4!!).   The Starters will learn an easy song to play at the beginning of the final show. Starters do not need to know how to play their instrument, we will help you with that. All you need is the will to rock!
