FREE ROCK SCHOOL BLOWOUT CONCERT
The Patel Conservatory's Rock School students will perform in a free Rock School Blowout concert.
The concert will be Sat., Nov. 14 at 1 p.m. on the Riverwalk at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center.
Led by instructors Lee Ahlin and Paul Stoddart, Rock School students ages 10 through adult who have formed nine bands, will show off what they've learned as they play modern and classic rock and roll tunes by artists such as Linkin Park, Journey, Green Day and Stevie Ray Vaughn.
With cooler weather finally upon us in Tampa, a free concert is a great way to spend an afternoon outdoors with the kids. So grab a blanket to spread on the grass, and spend a relaxing afternoon with the family. (Chairs with legs are not permitted). Food and beverages will be available for purchase.
Budding musicians interested in Rock School can attend the free Rock Encounter on Sat., Dec. 12 at 1 p.m. Musicians of all skill levels and ages can jam and get tips from Ahlin. Pre-register for this free class by calling 222-6453.
