Rockstar Bootcamp performance showcases local talent
Weeks of learning paid off at the Rockstar Bootcamp showcase June 20.
Several budding musicians who took part in the eight-week program, which was hosted by Lee Bell of LAB Soundworks. The students studied the ins and outs of guitar, piano, drums, and bass, forming three bands of performers. While this year’s spring session included mostly young students, the camp was open to all ages.
Eleven-year-old Hannah Gagnon and her nine-year-old sister Hayden were in a band called The Bumblebees. The sisters said they enjoyed the process of learning different chords and songs, and working together to create a band name and a banner.
“You get to learn notes and you get to be part of a band,” Hannah said. “The concert was my favourite part.”
