Girls Rock Camp press spectacular!!
The Oreo Crew!

GRR!’s first Girls Rock Camp was amazing!! We are so proud of the girls, who all did an amazing job! They learned an instrument, joined a band, wrote an original song, and performed it live at AS220 on Friday (in addition to all of the awesome workshops they attended)! The showcase concert was unbelievable! Those girls were outstanding and so brave to get up there and perform their new songs. Congratulations to all of the girls for a week of amazing hard work, which definitely paid off! AS220 was PACKED to the gills with super supportive family, friends, and fans! Thanks to the girls and their parents, the 40+ volunteers, RISCA, Craftland, the Hive Archive, and all of GRR!’s other supporters!
Studio 6, Poisoned Hearts, Sweet Contradictions, Oreo Crew, Strawberry Basket Upside Down, and 2 x 2 = Loud, forever!
