My Project

Rock Band Club is ready to start the new year rocking! After more than two years of pandemic disruption, it’ll be great to have students jamming in the classroom during lunch and breaks again. Everyone should have the chance to join with friends and make music in high school. It takes a little time, effort, space, and equipment, but the students are definitely motivated. All I need to do is provide the gear and open the door.

This year, we hope to have regular lunchtime concerts outside, and these speakers will allow for quick and easy setup and packout during the very limited time available.

Lunchtime concerts are a great opportunity for both beginners and more advanced players to get some experience playing live to an audience. They’re also good advertising and recruitment for the club, and they provide a service to community, not only with the entertainment value but also the inspiring model of peers perusing creative interests.
