As the mother of a girl who participated in Girls Rock Camp Austin last summer, I can say that even without instruments, the girls were better than that!! (Funny, funny video!)
Seriously, I believe a full 50% of the girls served by this camp last summer were on scholarship. This is SUCH a great cause for our girls. My daughter, an aspiring bass player, left camp pumped up and ready to rock. The camp gave her an amazing sense of confidence in her ability to make music, but more than that, it reinforced the idea that a strong, independent female can stand up for herself in any situation. I especially loved that the brothers and dads weren’t even allowed to drag around the equipment. The girls do it all for themselves. In addition, an unbelievably talented pool of local female musicians donate their time to teach the girls and coach their bands. It’s really a remarkable program.
Thanks to everyone who has donated and thanks to Brea and her team for their support!
