Off to a great start – several bands already up and running with a few song ideas, band names, etc… If this group of rockers is as good as last weeks, and we think they are, we are in for a great concert again on Friday evening!! Video of last week’s camp and concert, which was AMAZING, up in a few days on Youtube and RaleighRockSchool.com.

MusicTech Week 2
Jun 22nd
09′ Summer Camps Kick Off
Jun 16th
For Immediate Release
June 16, 2009
The first campsession of 2009 has kicked off with a sold out week and some serious music making on the first day.
Progressive Music Center‘s 15th year of the the Original School of Rock Summer Sessions kicked off Monday, June 15 in a brand new Raleigh, NC location. For 2009 a Music Technology curriculum has been added and titled called MusicTech. Through the new MusicTech format camp Rockers write, record, promote and perform their music in a one week period ending with a finale concert. “The overall idea of MusicTech is to offer campers a complete submersion into what it takes to play in a working band. In today’s connected world the need for large record deals and distribution is greatly minimized with social networks and readily available, inexpensive recording equipment such as the Zoom H2″, says Progressive Music Center’s Billy Cuthrell.
Started in 1994 as way to showcase students, Progressive Music Center’s camp has grown year after year and produced a year around program called Rock Academy where students rehearse weekly in Progressive’s studios with a staff member that coaches the bands and prepares them for live shows around the NC area.
