Memphis Rock n Romp Camp (June 4-8, 2012)

Memphis Rock n Romp is a project consisting of a group of local musicians who are devoted to playing entertaining music in a kid-friendly environment.  They have concerts throughout the year, but, in the summer, (actually, this is the second summer that the camp took place) there is Rock n Romp Camp.  The kids learn through stations in the morning the techniques of singing and playing the bass, drums, guitar, and keyboard.  In the afternoons, they'd break up into bands, and write lyrics and music to the song that they were to perform at the end of the week.  They clearly had a fantastic time, if the band names were anything to go by:  Harrison's band, The Gnomes, and Grayson's band, The Skeletones.  Or, the song titles:  "Criminals on the Run" and "Top of the World".  Admission was charged to the parents on Saturday night.  It was a charged audience, rooting for their top performer.
