School of Rock Germantown isn't just a corporate franchise with some vague purpose of playing music. It's run by great people, and they have a very specific purpose: to teach your kid how to rock. You'll get to know people like Ken (the owner), Kris (show director), Jeff (house band director), and many more who love music and are passionate about sharing it. These people will take your child's natural talent and focus it like a laser on becoming a great musician. A musician with talent and stage presence.
There is a long list of things that make playing live music difficult. You have to get a band together, book gigs, find a place to practice, etc. As an aside, try finding a parent that has the space and the patience to allow a big rock band to practice in their house. Once you find that parent you have to find neighbors that like it as well because it is LOUD :) That is all taken care of by School of Rock. All your kid has to do is play. In a way it's just like sports, all you have to do is practice and play, the league sets up everything else. It's perfect because all of your kids energy is directed toward music, not logistics.
Our son started off in the regular shows, then auditioned for the House Band. He made the cut and got a tremendous amount of experience playing in front of live crowds at places like BB Kings, Club 152, Miglewood Hall, and the Hard Rock Cafe among many others. He then went on the summer tour where he and his house band friends shredded in front of crowds all up and down the Mississippi River. They played gigs in St. Louis, Chicago, and even the worlds largest music festival: Summer Fest in Milwaukee (headlined by bands like Tom Petty and the Red Hot Chili Peppers). It was an AMAZING run for those kids to play so much and for such a wide variety of audiences.
I can tell you that School of Rock Germantown is a big part of my kids life, he will forever remember it as a tremendously fun period of time where learned and played, made a bunch of great friends, and also gained a deep base of experience in playing live music that he'll retain forever.
If your kid wants to play, this is an AWESOME outlet for his or her musical energy and curiosity. Some kids will even discover an inner "rock monster". If that's the case, hang on tight because you could be in for a wildly fun ride that will see your kid playing in front of thousands of people and touring the country this summer. The only limit is how bad the kid wants it. If your kid loves music and practices like a madman, then his success is guaranteed.
My kid is eighteen now and moving on to college. They played to a packed house at Neils last night and I kid you not, when my kid came off stage last night he had ladies I've never seen hugging him. THAT my friends, is confirmation that you've attained rock star status.
