Calling all Boise musicians! One of our internal philosophies is "There's nothing we can't do better." While I'm not a fan of double negatives, I will argue that good hold music can improve our days. Team up with Boise Rock School and help us make it so!
CALL TO MUSICIANS - City Hold Music Call
We are partnering with Boise Rock School to seek submissions of music for the City of Boise's telephone hold system (City Hold system) beginning in 2022 and to remain on the system through at least 2024. Up to 10 submissions will be selected.
Musicians may submit existing or newly created original music. Genres may be open, but must be appropriate for all ages; music that is “characteristically Boise” is a plus (as interpreted by the applicant).
Deadline: March 17, 2022, at 5 p.m. (local time)

Very excited for our friends at Boise Rock School! We're gonna miss having them down the street, but their new space is gonna rock.

We can all use some help from friends and that’s exactly what Boise Rock School needs now. The pressures of the rental market have pushed them out of their building and although they’ve found a new place, the organization could use some support from the community to finish the move.
Downtown Boise First Thursday is coming alive with roving performances, games, meet & greets & more. Tonight there will be performances by Opera Idaho Boise Philharmonic, Ballet Idaho and Boise Rock School throughout various locations all night long! And find the Boise Hawks in The Grove Plaza along with an Idaho Gives pop-up! So much fun to be had! See ya downtown!
