“Our musicians have poured their hearts into this—countless hours of rehearsals, overcoming nerves, and growing into true performers,” said Steve McKay, the owner of School of Rock Alexandria. “To see them take the stage at Vans Warped Tour at RFK is beyond exciting, it’s a powerful, proud moment for all of us. They’re going to leave a lasting impression, and I couldn’t be prouder of the dedication and courage they’ve shown.”

School of Rock provides students of all ages an exciting and engaging music lesson experience, which includes bass lessons, guitar lessons, singing lessons, drum lessons, and piano lessons.

Loyal to the Craft, SmartPunk Records, and SJC Custom Drums are producing the appearance of School of Rock on the Vans Warped Tour.
