Upcoming ‘Rock School’ expected to Roar
April 11th, 2010. Posted in General News
‘Rock School’ is celebrating its fifth year as a staple in the extra-curricular program at LAS. It is open to all students interested in expressing themselves musically, either through playing an instrument or singing. The next ‘Rock School’ performance will take place on Saturday, April 24th in the Black Box Theatre and an unprecedented turnout is expected.
While the core of the activity revolves around weekly rehearsals, the goal of these rehearsals is to prepare students to perform live in front of their peers at three different shows: an acoustic show in the Fall and two “Rock” shows later in the year.
Rock School continues to thrive more with each year and has become an institution of sorts, one which truly enhances the culture and community of the school. While giving students a creative outlet and helping them to build confidence and self-esteem through live performance, it also promotes team-building skills by allowing students to work together and help each other both in rehearsals and on stage. In addition to helping create a sense of tradition and community at LAS, Rock School also celebrates cultural diversity by encouraging students to sing and perform songs in their native language and from their native culture.
