BW&BK; has received the following press release:
"The upcoming Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp's 10th Anniversary celebration will be in Las Vegas! Taking place at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and House of Blues, Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp invades Sin City from November 7-11th, 2007 and it promises to be the best one yet. The camp will run from Wednesday at 5pm to Sunday at midnight over Veterans Day weekend. Enrollment has already started off with a bang with campers from all over the world, including the US, Ireland, UK, and South America, having already signed up.The Vegas lineup of SLASH, ROGER DALTREY, JOE WALSH, JACK BRUCE, VINCE NEIL, NICKO MCBRAIN, SIMON KIRKE, and over 20 rock legends promises to be an incredible experience for all. For first time campers you'll be witnessing what has made RRFC the most incredible rock and roll experience for the last 10 years. For returning campers, you will once again live the dream.
Having the opportunity to not only meet these amazing rock stars but to interact, jam and learn techniques of your instrument from the best musicians in the world is unprecedented. At the last camp I was amazed watching Paul Schaffer put the Rock Stars through a rehearsal in front of the entire camp that changed many perspectives about the rehearsal process and the quest for perfection of music.
You will have the once in a life time experience in talking to Slash one-on-one about the guitar and jamming on 'White Room' and 'Sunshine Of Your Love' with Jack Bruce of CREAM. Legendary guitarist Joe Walsh, who's band, THE EAGLES, is releasing a CD for the first time in 20 years, will also be on hand to give tips and jam with campers. To be in a room with this genius who has written and recorded some of the biggest anthems in rock n' roll like 'Funk 49' (JAMES GANG) and 'Life In The Fast Lane' (Eagles) will be among the highlights or our 10th Anniversary Camp. I've had the privilege to have spent lots of time with Joe over the years and his insight into the music has taught me more about rock and roll than anyone Ive ever worked with.
Of course, our Las Vegas celebration would not be complete without Roger Daltrey, the legendary front man for THE WHO! Roger has helped me create Rock Camp to what it has become today. This will be Rogers 4th Camp since 2002 and his tireless efforts and performances with the campers has given so many of our past attendees the extra push needed to bring music to the forefront of their lives. His passion about music has allowed many of the campers he's touched to find the happiness and passion they possessed inside of themselves to come out.
However, while were bringing this incredible array of talent to Las Vegas in November, the true superstars at Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp are YOU, the Rockers who come to camp to work hard on your music regardless of whether you've played for one month or 35 years. Previous attendees come from all walks of life including students, housewives, hobbyists and captains of industry. The friends that you'll meet at the Camp and in your band will become lifelong friends because you all have one thing in common: The Music.
The work that our campers put into preparing themselves for this experience begins the moment you sign up when you begin to be treated like the Rock Star you've always wanted to be. We've eliminated the audition process so that immediately as you come to camp you enter a studio with your rock star counselors and you begin jamming to the 2 songs you were sent in advance from your counselor. After several days of rehearsing, jamming and preparing, you'll be ready to rock the stage at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Hotel for the end of camp concert. The final concert in New York, now called Campalooza, proved to be the best ever. Take a look at what the Campers had to say minutes after leaving the stage at BB Kings.
We're looking forward to welcoming all our campers, old and new, who truly want to live this once in a life time experience. To the spouses who give this as a gift, your creativity is amazing. At the last camp a wife gave her husband a plane ticket to New York City on the first day of camp and told him that were going to rock and roll fantasy camp. Another one of my favorite camper comments was from a couple who have attended a few camps and told me that this camp offers the best marital therapy: Where can my husband and I go away for 5 days together a relive our college sweetheart days and rock out all day.
Don't be left out! We had to turn away potential campers from the New York City Camp as the Camp sold out very quickly. Space in our incredible 10th Anniversary celebration is limited, so please call us now at 888-ROC-BAND or download the registration form here. As an added incentive, for those that sign up prior to October 1st, we are offering exclusive discounts of $750 for previous campers and $500 for new campers."
