LED ZEPPELIN
Rehearses: Tuesdays 5:15-7:30pm
First Rehearsal: October 11th, 2022
Every musician needs to spend time studying the mighty Led Zeppelin. Every-Single-One. We all know Zeppelin’s hits, but it’s impossible to overstate their importance as players and performers. Huge hits, pioneering musicianship, and unreal concerts, put them on the Mount Rushmore of classic rock bands. Absolutely essential for everyone, but especially for Guitar, Bass, and Drums.
BEST OF THE 50s (THE BIRTH OF ROCK ‘N’ ROLL)
Rehearses: Wednesdays 5:15-7:45pm
First Rehearsal: October 12th, 2022
This is where it all began! This is the stuff that was absolutely WORSHIPED by The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, Hendrix, Clapton, and all your other favorites. There would be no metal, punk, prog, psych, or anything else without the music in this show. We’re talking about Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Link Wray, Jerry Lee Lewis, and more. Seriously, if you don’t know this music, you are in for an eye opening experience.
PRINCE
Rehearses: Thursdays 5:15-7:45pm
First Rehearsal: October 13th, 2022
What is left to be said about Prince? He’s a musical genius, instrumental prodigy, and hit-maker extraordinaire. He put more music out in the world than all of your favorite bands and he often played all the instruments himself! Sure, we’ll play some of his greatest hits, but we’ll also dig deep to find his funkiest fan favorites. With shredding guitar, funky bass, groovy drums, incredible vocals, and experimental keys, this is a fantastic show for every instrument!
JUDAS PRIEST
Rehearses: Saturdays, 11am-1:30pm
First Rehearsal: October 15th, 2022
Forming only months after pioneers Black Sabbath, Judas Priest are one of the earliest and most influential metal bands of all time. They pushed the boundaries of metal during the 70s, became a huge commercial success in the 80s, and still pack arenas to this day. To celebrate them being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, we’re giving Judas Priest their own show for the first time. This is a challenging show for all instruments, but there will be no keys-parts in this show.
THE GO-GO’s
Rehearses: Saturdays 2-4:30pm
First Rehearsal: October 15th, 2022
The Go-Go’s broke through barrier after barrier to become the most successful all female rock band in history, but that’s only part of the story. They also took their punk influences and combined them with their catchy songwriting to become an unstoppable radio staple of the 80s. After being inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, they’ve reunited and are bigger than ever! This is a great show for all skill levels and all instruments.
Almost all the cast lists have been updated for the new season. Keep checking back for the last one which is coming very, very soon. Everyone is starting out with 2, so get workin’ so you’re ready for more!

EVERYONE got something new. Check out the cast lists and get started!
If you have any questions, reach out to us ASAP. If you’re on the fence, just go for it! Auditioning is a skill and you can only get better at it by auditioning more and learning from the experience. You can sign up at the school when you’re here next or just call us and we’ll write your name down (or even just show up on Saturday).
Just to clarify, the House Band auditions are the exact same format as AllStars (but just the Round 1 portion). If you get selected to represent us at the Round 2 AllStar auditions, then you’ll have to film your audition, but don’t think about that yet. Just focus on Round 1.
This season of House Band will likely go through the Summer. It will rule.
Work hard and read those rules carefully!
We are going to have AllStars AND House Band auditions on February 19th at 2pm.
We are holding just one audition for both programs (using the same guidelines). Read them very carefully, then ask Tyler every question you have! Don’t wait, just email us right away.
No one ever feels truly ready to audition for either of these programs, so the only way to increase your chances is auditioning now as well as next time. Don’t put it off! Just go for it!
Almost every cast list is posted now (still just waiting on one), so get started! Rehearsals start this week!
