July 19, 2021 – First Gig is a day camp for kids aged 10-17 that offers a real “rock n roll experience”.
During the week-long camp, kids are taught the fundamentals of Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Recording, Marketing, and Performance. They are placed into bands, where they learn how to work together and operate as a fully functioning band. The camp concludes with a Final Performance where the bands will play their sets to the general public, followed by a meet & greet session with autograph signing. Throughout the week, campers will have the benefit of working with local musicians with years of recording and touring experience.
This year’s First Gig camp will take place daily from 9 am – 5 pm, the week of July 19-23rd, at the Perkinson Music Center. The Final Performance will take place on Saturday, July 24th at 12 pm (noon) at the Kirkland Fine Arts Center.
