SUMMER
GROUPS!
Do not miss out on the incredible opportunity to
skyrocket your musical skills in one of our exciting
Summer group programs. These fun filled classes
are only offered from June through August and
have been described to us by students and parents
as the highlight of their summer events.
One of our most popular Summer Programs
is the Summer Jam class. Summer Jam is a less
formal version of our incredibly successful AMP’D
Rock Band program. The class offers students
the chance to play in real bands with guitars,
drums, bass, keyboards, and vocals. All Summer
Jam participants are invited to play at a killer outdoor
concert on Saturday August 14th.
Summer is also a great time to focus on areas
that you may be neglecting during the course of a
busy school year. Guitarists can dramatically
increase their playing abilities by enrolling in our
super popular “Guitarobics” class which gives you
a taste of what the real shredders know and practice
on a regular basis. Other class titles we are offering
include: Roots of Rock, Music Genius Theory
Course, Extreme Soloing, Rock Star’s Pro
Workout, Jazz Band Prep, and Guitar for
Beginners. We are also considering a group vocal
training class and a hands on Recording or Live
Sound Engineering class (depending on interest).
The Groove Dr.’s are offering some killer
Summer classes on Stick Technique, 40 Essential
Rudiments, and a Hand Percussion Ensemble
class that will also perform at the Summer Jam
concert in August.
For a complete description of our amazing
Summer Program, see your registration form
included with this newsletter. Students must sign
up by June 1st. Classes start the week of June 7th.
You can email you class requests to the school office over
the Labor Day weekend: [email protected]

A TRIUMPHAL RETURN
This year the annual On Track Music and Groove Dr.’s
Student Fest made a triumphal return to a venue that was
new to most of our student performers, but familiar to a few
of our veteran rockers. This year’s Fest was held at the
incredible auditorium of Holladay Baptist Church. The show
left no doubt that the combined effort our students, staff,
sponsors, production personnel, volunteers from On Track,
Groove Dr’s, and HBC, exceeded all expectations and made
this by far the best Student Fest to date.
The 2010 Student Fest was attended by thousands of
enthusiastic fans who witnessed an entire weekend of
amazing musical performances. The Fest included two
separate evening Rock Shows and six individual daytime
Jam Sessions that gave our students the chance to dazzle
the public with their incredible musical skills.
In keeping with the “Come Together” theme of the “Fab
Four” Each daytime Jam Session was kicked off with a
killer performance of a Beatles cover by the On Track Music
and Groove Dr’s Staff Band. The opening Staff performances
were followed by a myriad of individual and group
performances including solo guitar and drum pieces
(performed with and without backing music),
Festival Groups (groups of guitar, drum, and bass students
who performed popular songs to a c.d. track), Advanced
Festival Groups (former students from the Summer Jam
program who performed as live bands), and AMP’D Bands
(real rock bands playing killer tunes).
The daytime Jam Sessions were designed to give all
students of all levels the opportunity to play for friends and
loved ones in an environment that is exciting yet comfortable,
and is also friendly and encouraging.
The evening shows started with a bang featuring rockin’
performances by HBC’s very own “Real Life Transformation”.
Then the AMP’D teachers hit the stage taking no prisoners.
Friday night the AMPD’ alliance rocked a killer version of the
instrumental tune “Gemini” and Saturday Night featured a
surprise tribute to the “Friends” that Student Fest just can’t do
without (and had everyone wondering if that was really Ringo
Starr or Sneez).
The Eleven AMP’D bands that rocked the house completely
floored the awestruck audience. There were too many
amazing performances to list them all but members of
Doomed Obsession, Ever Since Tomorrow, Silk ‘n Suede,
The What?, Metal Roses, The Number Q, For The Win,
Failed Uprising, Quarantine, Insight, and the Idle Americans,
once again proved that the On Track Music and Groove Dr’s
AMP’D rock band program is the leading music performance
program available.
Thanks to everyone who was involved in making this
year’s Student Fest a true triumphal return!
