Musicians in grades six through 12 will have the opportunity to play in a rock band all summer for free.
Share the Spotlight is holding auditions this month for its fourth season in Philadelphia. The nonprofit organization offers a tuition-free rock music program where students meet twice a week through June and July and perform an end-of-the-season show in a professional venue.
This year, the group is using video auditions, and is planning to begin the program in June as long as circumstances regarding the COVID-19 pandemic allow for students and staff to safely meet.
The program is open to musicians anywhere in Philadelphia and is easily accessible via SEPTA.
Auditions take place at Keystone Soundworks, 4900 Longshore Ave., beginning on April 10. The deadline to sign up is Sunday, April 5.
To audition, students can learn any song by the Beatles, Led Zeppelin or Aretha Franklin on guitar, bass, drum set, keyboard or vocals. They should have some experience on their instrument and be highly motivated to practice and learn new parts.
