This summer, 29 kids were able to participate in this intense program that challenged them to take their playing skills to another level while they learned what it takes to play successfully in a band. Five bands were formed, matching kids who enjoyed playing the same type of music and were at similar skill levels and in the same age group. They met for 2 hours every week for 8 weeks. Then..it was time to hit the stage and strutt their stuff!

On Friday, August 14th two bands took the Rick's stage and played to a full house of family and friends. The Bands were:

Most of all, we'd especially like to recognize the Band Parents who gave this great opportunity to their kids and the families who gave their support at the concerts. You have given them an experience that they will not forget.

Mia's Journey on America's Got Talent

Last night Mia's journey on America's Got Talent was a roller coaster ride that ended during the last few minutes of the show. We'll never know if America voted Mia into the top 20 because America's votes were not revealed...

At minimum, we do know that America voted her into the top 24.

That is an amazing accomplishment and we are all so proud of Mia. Those of us who have had the privilege of watching her develop as a performer and songwriter here at Rick's Music, know that she will some day achieve her dreams. And we can't wait to welcome her home.
