This is my third year as Head of the Rock Program, and 4th year overall. Every year that I get to come to Ballibay and work with the young people there is an absolute gift. I consider it to be a tremendous responsibility guiding young people in their process of creative collaboration. Being in a band and, generally, working with other people is a wonderful and challenging opportunity for so much growth in so many ways. The campers are not just joining a band, they are navigating a complex and intricate art form that uniquely combines this ephemeral creation of music, and brash, dramatic performance which culminates in a rock show. I sincerely look forward to returning this year as Head of Rock, working with and learning from all the campers and staff.
