A CELEBRATION OF OUR SCHOOL'S EXPANSION
We are so excited to extend a special invitation to all current and prospective Highland Heights students, families, and friends to be a part of our celebration on Saturday, December 16th, from 4-6 PM, marking the expansion of our school.
This expansion not only reflects our commitment to fostering artistic talent but also signifies the growth of our community. It's a testament to the support and enthusiasm of our students, parents, and friends who have contributed to the vibrant tapestry of our school.
Beyond the musical festivities, the celebration provides an excellent opportunity for everyone to explore our new space. The added room allows for more specialized classrooms, a huge rehearsal room and additional communal areas, creating an even more enriching environment for our students.
The festivities kick off at 4 PM with an Open Mic, open to all current SoR Highland Heights students, followed by performances by our audition-based, School of Rock Cleveland House Band and Jr House Band.
OPEN MIC DETAILS
Open Mic sign-ups will commence on Wednesday, November 29th, with the form emailed out promptly at 6 PM. Given the limited availability, only the first 10 sign-ups will secure a spot. Whether you're going solo, playing with a full-band, performing a cover or your own original piece, we welcome all forms of expression (as long as it's appropriate)! We can't wait!
