GR!C's "Bandwagon," our virtual after-school program, will continue with another six-week session this November and December. At Bandwagon, students will create and showcase original songs with their band, receive instrument support, and participate in a variety of workshops. We will meet on Tuesday afternoons over the course of a six-week session, culminating in a celebratory showcase.

Week 1 will start on Tuesday, November 10th. The final class will be on Tuesday, December 15th, and the showcase will be on Thursday, December 17th at 6:30 pm. We hope to run another session in January and February as well.

Here is the schedule for every Tuesday at Bandwagon:

Band Practice from 5:00 - 6:00 pm (Central time)
Workshop from 6:00 - 6:30 pm
Instrument Support from 6:30 - 7:00 pm

Bandwagon is open to girls, transgender youth of all identities, and gender-expansive youth, ages 8 - 16. We will loan instruments and gear to campers who need them, and financial aid will be available in order to make this program accessible to all students.

Our goal is that students will progress on their instruments and in their bands, while enjoying and expanding upon their own self-expression, creativity, and collaboration! We know that everyone needs an opportunity to safely socialize during this pandemic, and we hope this space can help fulfill that.
