School Of Rock Brick

This April, the local sounds of youth music and community spirit are taking center stage. School of Rock Brick is proud to announce “Smells Like SPRING Spirit,” a neighborhood celebration of music and youth enrichment taking place on April 25 from 10AM to 2PM.
The event serves as a gathering spot for families to connect with local youth-centered community resources and explore the creative arts. The school will open its doors for an exhilarating experience featuring interactive activities and live music.
The highlight of the day is the “Join the Band” invitation, where visiting kids and teens are invited to step onto the stage and pick up an instrument. These drop-in sessions allow newcomers to experience the magic of making rock music in a real studio environment, guided by professional instructors.
The event also features a diverse lineup of community partners, providing a resource fair for family fun. Attendees can enjoy creative play and crafts, sweet treats, local eats, and friendly faces from other local youth-focused organizations.
