Girls Rock Detroit Showcase

The Girls Rock Detroit Summer Camp comes to a crescendo on Saturday afternoon at the Majestic Theatre. After about a month of work-shopping with young girls (age 8-15) who were aspiring to try out various instruments and performance styles within the rock 'n' roll format, coordinators and instructors will present a showcase of nine bands who each prepared original music to perform.
The bands will be performing throughout the afternoon on Saturday from 12-4pm, with Miz Korona serving as Master of Ceremonies.  


The music community has an opportunity to celebrate the work of Girls Rock campers and be supportive of their ambition by way of providing an enthusiastic turnout and response, as many will be experiencing their first time playing music in front of an audience. I think you want to be in the audience for that special moment.

Girls Rock is partnering with the Majestic Theatre for this show. All proceeds from the showcase benefit Girls Rock Detroit, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that works, each year, to encourage girls to get involved in music. Led by several female and non-binary veteran/established musicians from the local scene who pass down their knowledge to this next generation, the Girls Rock summer camp creates a positive, encouraging and specifically noncompetitive environment for these new musicians. The showcase is designed to be an uplifting experience for the performers, one that underlines the benefits of teamwork.

Girls Rock's main goal is just encouraging the creative spirit of these young women by empowering them to challenge preconceived notions of what they're able to do, or to become, in a male-dominated music industry. But more than that, it also works to inspire them to become engaged members of their communities.
