Girls Rock Camp Madison

2023 Showcases locations are:
session 1 & 2 - High Noon Saloon
session 3 - Majestic Theatre

Doors open at 11:45am
Show starts at noon for all sessions

All showcases will be Saturday of the of camp week. The showcases will be live streamed and recorded for streaming later.

In Session 2, campers going into 7th grade through high school (including girls who graduate in May/June), will have a chance to delve deeply into the creative musical process with advanced instrument & ensemble instruction.

In order to apply for Session TWO on an instrument or vocals, one of the following requirements must be met:

• The camper has received a recommendation from a GRC staff member on a specific instrument

OR

• The camper has attended camp previously and is knowledgeable about their instrument

OR

• The camper submits a video audition*. Please register for camp first and then email your video to grcmadison@gmail.com

*The video “audition” is to ensure Session 2 campers have a basic proficiency on their instrument of choice (for example, a guitar player who knows how to play a 3-chord song and can keep a basic beat). Our intention is to include as many campers as possible, but because this camp fills with campers who have more experience, we've found that campers who are novices on their instrument end up feeling disempowered and frustrated. We love novices though, and encourage them to sign up for Session 1 or 3 camps.

Please contact us directly if you have questions.

D.J. PROGRAM AT SESSION 2

Another “back by popular demand” session 2 option is our Club DJ program. We have space for two campers (accepted on a first come first served basis, no experience necessary) to learn what it takes to be a club/party DJ. They will learn beat matching and mixing skills using songs they already know and love!

The camp will provide instruments and equipment during camp hours for Bass, Drums, Guitar, Keyboard & Vocals.

We also have a limited number of Ukuleles and Electric Violins available for campers who have some experience on these instruments.

If you have an instrument at home that you would prefer to play, by all means, bring it along!

GRC Madison is organized and led by a group of musicians, performers and teachers from the Madison area.  Everyone involved in the camp is thoroughly interviewed with background checks and must be wearing an ID badge at all times.  Visit the Instructors page to view all dedicated staff members.
