SPRING 2020 SEASON SHOWS

*All shows will perform in June

DAVE GROHL

Rehearses: Saturdays from 11am-2pm
First Rehearsal: Saturday, February 8th

Who’d have thought that the drummer from the biggest band of the 90s would go on to front one of the biggest bands of the 2000s?? Dave Grohl is a hit making powerhouse who has evolved into one of the most important entertainers of our generation. We’ll feature songs by Nirvana & Foo Fighters, as well as his contributions in Queens of the Stone Age, Probot, Tenacious D, and Them Crooked Vultures!

BEST OF THE 90s

Rehearses: Saturdays from 2pm-5pm
First Rehearsal: Saturday, February 8th

This is one of our most popular shows, but we haven’t done it in a long time! The 90s were an incredibly eclectic decade and saw the beginnings of some of the biggest bands in the world. We’re talking Green Day, Radiohead, Weezer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Soundgarden, Beck, No Doubt, Pantera, Garbage, Smashing Pumpkins, and tons more.

PINK FLOYD’S THE WALL

Rehearses: Thursdays from 5:15pm-8:15pm
First Rehearsal: Thursday, February 6th

The Wall is the first show every School of Rock does, so this is a special one. This record is one of the most important works of Pink Floyd’s career and has become one of the most inspiring albums of all time. We haven’t done this one in 6 years, so if you’ve had your eye on this one, jump on it!

SHOW ROSTERS for Fall 2019

As always, there are TONS of moving parts to get this thing together, but here it is! The big change is that we’re no longer doing Tommy and Pearl Jam has turned from an Epic Album show into a full Pearl Jam show. That means the Pearl Jam show will now be on Thursdays with Tyler and Casey.

BEST OF SAN DIEGO

Rehearses: Saturdays from 11am-2pm

First Rehearsal: Saturday, October 5th

It’s been 4 years since the last time we did this show, but it’s back and bigger than ever with BOTH schools participating! This show will spotlight some of the most important bands from San Diego’s history. We’ll include artists who got their start in SD (Zappa, Tom Waits), legendary bands who helped put SD on the map (Drive Like Jehu, Three Mile Pilot), and modern bands making waves today (Schizophonics, Havnauts).

BEST OF THE 80s

Directed by Adam West, Assisted by Adam Barker

Rehearses: Saturdays from 2pm-5pm

First Rehearsal: Saturday, October 5th

The 80s was one of the most exciting and creative times in rock history. With the help of new technology and new cultural ideas, every band sounded more unique than ever before. This show has the most variety of any show that we do! We’re talking pop stuff like Prince and Michael Jackson, new wave stuff like XTC and The Cars, punk stuff like The Clash and Minor Threat, metal stuff like Metallica and Megadeth, one-hit-wonders like A-Ha and Flock of Seagulls, quirky weirdos like Oingo Boingo and Devo...and so much more! Pat Benatar, The Gogos, U2, The Police, Blondie, The Bangles, Joan Jett, etc etc etc. This show is a blast!!

EPIC ALBUM: TEN by Pearl Jam

Directed by Casey Trask

Rehearses: Tuesdays from 6-8pm

First Rehearsal: Tuesday, October 1st

This record was so huge that EVERYONE knows the hits from this record. Rippin’ solos, huge drums, and great lyrics put this one in the history books. This is a 90s grunge classic!!

THE WHO’S TOMMY

Directed by Tyler Ward, Assisted by Araby Harrison

Rehearses: Thursdays from 5:15pm-8:15pm

First Rehearsal: Thursday, October 3rd

The legendary first Rock Opera! This is one of the 20th century’s greatest achievements and is a huge undertaking. This record features some of The Who’s biggest hits (Pinball Wizard and See Me Feel Me) and some of the most impressive and challenging compositions of their catalog (Underture, and the closing medley). This is one of the most important records of all time.
