Amped School of Music is excited to announce the launch of two new immersive, four-week rock band crash courses designed to get musicians playing live on stage. The new programs, the Pop Anthems Rock Band Crash Course and the Green Day Rock Band Crash Course, are now open for registration and culminate in a live performance at the Troll Lounge in Fargo.
The Pop Anthems Rock Band Crash Course is for musicians ages 11-15 and will focus on learning and performing modern hits like Imagine Dragons' “Believer” and Taylor Swift's “Shake It Off.” The Green Day Rock Band Crash Course is tailored for musicians ages 16 and older, covering a set of the iconic band's greatest hits. Both ensembles will meet for weekly Sunday rehearsals from October 12th to November 2nd, with the final performance scheduled for Thursday, November 6th.
The courses are open to vocalists, guitarists, bassists, drummers, pianists, and other instrumentalists with a basic knowledge of their instrument. Enrollment is not limited to current Amped students; any musician with a passion for live performance is welcome to join.
"We are thrilled to bring these new programs to the community," said Emily, owner of Amped School of Music. "These courses are a perfect way to live our mission to Empower, Connect, and Celebrate musicians. It’s an incredible opportunity for students to not only improve their skills but also build teamwork and experience the unique thrill of playing a live show."
Registration for both courses is limited to ensure a quality experience for all participants. Interested musicians can find more details and secure their spot by visiting www.ampedschoolofmusic.com/rockband. The deadline to register is Thursday, October 9th.

Dido and Aeneas is based on Book IV of Virgil’s epic The Aeneid. It is one of the earliest known English operas, and one of the most important and often performed operas written in the Baroque period. It is also Henry Purcell’s only true opera; that is, his only all-sung dramatic work.

Dido, the queen of Carthage, falls in love with Aeneas, the Trojan prince, whilst offering him safe harbour on his journey home. A Sorceress, who hates Dido, plots to separate them by creating a storm and sending one of her servants, disguised as Mercury, to urge Aeneas to return home straight away, forsaking Dido. Aeneas readies his sailors and lets Dido know he must leave. Dido cannot bear losing him and kills herself, after offering one of the most famous English arias, Dido’s Lament (“When I am laid in earth”). In true Baroque style, the action is delivered in short recitative sections interspersed with songs, choruses, and dances.
