Rock Band Summer Workshop 8/20-8/24 2007

Welcome to the gallery of Rock Band Summer Workshop Pictures for August 2007. With 30 rockers and five bands, these guys had a blast. Below, check out pictures from the entire week.  The bands chose names, they did promo pictures and they worked diligently on writing their tunes. Each band had about 3 tunes for the big showcase. With about 300 people in attendance, they had a great audience to perform for.
All were in agreement that this was one of the best weeks ever!
Be sure to check out the video of Steel Toed Boot below playing Right Here With You.
