Hi, what do you need to do to be a coach? What times of the day is the camp?

Wed, 30 May 2012 11:20:17 -0400

Hello,

To be a band coach you need to have some music experience, and feel comfortable teaching kids some basic skills. Mainly the job of the coach is herding cats. Getting the girls to work as a team to create a song that reflects all of them and uses the skills they have learned throughout the week of camp. Basically a whole lot of patience!

Camp is July 30th-August 3rd. For band coaches, the hours of the day to be at camp will be 12:30-2:00 approximately. You can Find our volunteer application under APPLICATIONS. We really hope to hear from you soon!

If you have any more questions just let me know!

NEWS FLASH!

Mon, 14 May 2012 19:08:42 -0400

We would like to announce to all of our forthcoming campers and those interested in coming to camp that we have lowered the tuition to $170!

Through our growth as an organization, the ladies of GRJ have realized that in order to make camp more accessible, the tuition must be accessible as well.

Tuition for camp is $170 per girl and includes 5 days of camp at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts (July 30th-Aug 3rd), all instrument and workshop instructions and supplies, a camp t-shirt, a Girls Rock Jacksonville zine, a camper backstage pass, snacks and an instrument load (if needed). Financial Aid will be available, please let us know if you are in need of a scholarship.

The final concert to showcase each band will be Saturday, August 4th at the Florida Theater!

Hi Everyone!

We would like to tune you in on all the fun and informative events we have in store! May is a really rockin’ month for us.

Intuition Ale Works has been so generous — providing their space for our meet-ups/parties and the benefit of the Siren. Their lady-brewed beer titled the Siren Schwarzbier will be provide $1 to GRJ for every pint sold during the month of May (starting on the 5th and ending on the 26th!) Here’s an article on the beer!

May 12th - Audio Ananda is featuring GRJ and Eat Where You Plant Your Feet in organization of SOAPBOX, a variety show (music, speech, dance) + a vegan/vegetarian potluck at Ananda Kula! This is going to be a fun one! Here’s the fb link.

May 19th - Girls Rock Jacksonville Volunteer Meet-Up at Intuition Ale Works! Starts at 5:30 pm in the brewery bar. Are you interested in learning more about the camp and how to help? This is when/where we’ll give the low-down on GRJ. At this event, you’ll be able to find just how you’d like to participate and be involved at the capacity that your schedule allows. We are going to start getting more word out about what we are doing and why! It’s not all just about tasks and duties, it’s about the campers and the power of our camp’s mission.

May 26th - GRJ Kickstarter Launch Party at Intuition Ale Works. We’ll announce the winner of the GRJ t-shirt design and have the shirt as one of the project incentives! There are other great pledges that will gift you sweet items like GRJ buttons, GRJ prints, tix to see the showcase at the Florida Theatre, and more! This is also the finale for the Siren that will benefit GRJ! $1 a pint!

Come out to our events and stay tuned! All of you rock!

Love and Bass Lines,
The Ladies of Girls Rock Jacksonville
