Years ago, Claire received a Christmas gift from her mom that inspired a new hobby - music. Years later, she is still interested, and now a member of the Cedar Rapids/Marion adult band.

Some of our students are also musicians outside of School of Rock. We’re happy to see them thrive musically in school programs, such as the MoShow choir competition that’s hosted by a local school in Cedar Rapids.
