Heading to the Rock & Roll Arts Academy in Highland Park
by MyChicagoKids on January 9, 2012
My boys and I have been invited to a media open house at the Rock & Roll Arts Academy in Highland Park, where they will be showcasing their non-traditional music class offerings and jam sessions.
You and Your Kids Are Invited to Join in the Fun!
This open house is open to the public on the following days…
- Thursday, 1/19, from 5 pm- 7pm
- Friday, 1/20, from 3-7pm
- Saturday, 1/21, from 11am-4pm
Families are invited to bring their little ‘rock star’ (or stars) to the Rock & Roll Arts Academy, located in the lower level of the Highland Park Community House at 1991 Sheridan Road, to make music videos on-site (for free) to see if they can take home the title of Coolest Kids on the North Shore.
The videos will be uploaded (via YouTube) to the Rock & Roll Arts Academy Facebook Page, where the video with the most ‘LIKES’ by January 27th at 5pm, will win a free Birthday Party that Rocks, complete with private live concert ($400 value), and the title of January’s “Coolest Kid on the North Shore!”
There will also be a hands-on instrument petting zoo, signing sessions, raffle prizes, dance contests, and food and refreshments and more.
Did You Know?
I had no idea the Rock & Roll Arts Academy even existed before I received this invitation.
It’s the North Shore’s hippest rock clubhouse for kids ages four months to 13 years offering classes where kids and their parents can learn origins of Beatles’ songs, dance to the psychedelic sounds of The Grateful Dead and say “Hey Now!” to the songs of Bob Marley! It’s the opposite of “Baby Mozart” and we’re hosting an Open House event to showcase jam sessions, instruments and more.
Did they know I was a huge Grateful Dead fan?
Fun!
