Drums or guitar...that was the big question...which one to go with. After a little debate the decision was...GUITAR! Welcome to School of Rock, Caelan, we can't wait to get you shredding with us!

Such an awesome day yesterday at our season show! We're so glad Doc's Lounge ~ Johnston, IA took us in for our show at the last minute to keep us out of the rain. The students didn't disappoint - amazing performances all throughout the day! Here is just a tiny sampling of photos...and we'd love to see yours too!! Please tag us when you post so we all can see your student in action!! Thanks to students, staff, and families for a great spring season. Prep week this week, then off to the races for summer season!

06/21/2026

Due to the rainy weather forecast the Spring 6/21/26 show will be moved to Doc's lounge in Johnston.

8805 Chambery Blvd, Johnston, IA 50131

The schedule will still be the same:

12pm - Nirvana
1:15pm - Rock 101 Tuesday
1:45pm - 70s Hard Rock
3pm - Rock 101 Wednesday
3:30pm Classic Punk
4:30pm Rock 101 Thursday

Rock 101 please be there 30 minutes early and Performance be there an hour early.

In this situation, we believe that having an indoor show will give a better overall experience to our students and families than risking the potential for rain and bad weather at an outdoor venue.

Please share around to everyone who plans to attend!!!
