Delta Girls Rock Camp Band Rocks St. Jude Marathon!
Today proved that it's never too early for rock and roll! This morning at 8 am, the Delta Girls Rock Band braved the cold weather and rocked out at the 1st mile marker of the St. Jude Marathon! They were the opening band of the event and played to a crowd of over 15,000 runners, and it was awesome! Their rock and roll set was definitely one of the highlights of the morning as well as a big crowd pleaser. Congrats to band for a job well done!

DELTA GIRLS ROCK CAMP: A HUGE SUCCESS!
Hey Everyone,
The inaugural Delta Girls Rock Camp was a huge success! 40 campers attended, and over 30 volunteers helped make the week the best girls rock camp experience in Memphis yet! Our campers came from all over Memphis as well as from other areas such as Arkansas, Mississippi, Nashville, and even Pennsylvania!
We had nine bands rock out at the Showcase: The Hot Pink Paperclips, Picture Perfect, MJ's Plastic Surgeons, The Narrow Escape, Umbrella Academy, The Flaming Cupcakes, Asian Infatuation, Fauxbia, and WEAREMUSICBANDSAYTHANKYOU. There were enough instruments for all the girls to use, thanks to the generous support of Daisy Rock Girl Guitars, the Hutchison School, the Wishlist Foundation, the help of Guitar Center, and at least fifteen individual loaners! We also had the support of sponsors that resulted in 5 scholarship spots.
The Showcase finale went along amazingly well! Marvin Stockwell of Pezz fame stepped in to emcee, and the showcase was filmed by a three-person camera crew (thanks to Sarah Fleming, Nicki Newburger and Kevin O'Brien). The DVD is currently in the works, and we hope to have a DVD release party sometime in late October or November. We'll keep y'all posted, and all campers will be notified.
For the future, we would like to get a website of our own up, and we would like to continue the involvement of the Rock Club members in assisting with fundraisers, increasing sponsorships, spreading the word on the street, and helping organize next year's Delta Girls Rock Camp, scheduled the last week of July 2010!

Last Day of Rock Camp Blog
This is one of the best camps i have been to this summer. I have learned how to hit the correct notes in singing and have met new people.
Too bad today is the last day of rock camp. I will really miss it here.
I have also met so many people, but I did also see people that I have known for a long time.
And last, I would love to say this camp rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, hi...this is Kacie! Today was pretty cool! We made pretty stone necklaces and got to listen to a great performance! Rob, one of my bass instructors, even got to play with the band that performed! We had a lot of fun today! My friends and I acted like nuts as usual! *_* We are waiting to go home to get energy for tomorrow!!!!
Bye, bye!!!!
p.s. Rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the Bass Guitar Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Nykkoa Morris, presently a Paper Clip again and still loving it with the same band with a new addition. I am LOVING this year's camp! There are so many changes but always for the best! I HIGHLY enjoy being able to be in every workshop and it really makes me happy that I can experience all the different classes. The band practice isn't bad at all either! We are still using other people's equipment (thank you very much!) and our own as well when it comes to guitars and basses. The counselors this year are also a total blast! A handful came back from last year, and there are also some new volunteers as well that are really nice and wonderful! The lunch is delicious and I still prefer it over our school cafeteria food.
The bands are all coming together nicely, and with a reduced number in girls, everyone has their own band room every day! I have enjoyed Rock Camp this year just as much as last year, and will continue to love it as much for the years to come!
