 The Mark Munson Memorial School of Rock took place this week and ended with a concert at Tornstorm Auditorium in Brainerd Thursday night. Rachel Johnson has more. Rock and Roll was alive this week at the Mark Munson Memorial School of Rock Camp where kids got to learn from airy musicians the ins and outs of what it takes to be a classic rock and roll band. They just learn how to put a band together. So at first they don't even have any idea and then you have to pick what songs we're going to do and then they just try and learn it and put it all together. The camp was founded after Mark Munson, a retired chiropractor in the area and former musician was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He hoped to share his love for music by establishing the camp before he died. He recognized that music was something that made him feel good but nothing else did. And one thing led to another and he partnered with the Crossing Arts Alliance which he was a board member at the time and we came up with this idea to leave a legacy called the Mark Munson Memorial School of Rock. The week led up to a final big community concert where the campers now rock band members got to show off their skills. Let's check it out. Cap it off with a real live for keeps performance on a stage with a complete sound system lighting staging the works just like any professional band. It's the real deal. And you've only got a couple days is what it feels like and then when it happens it's just amazing and it's mind-blowing that they can even do it but they do. The camp which is only in its second year has been huge as successful in bringing young kids together in their love for rock music and it hopes to continue well into the future. If you really love music then you should definitely do this because it's all just playing music and just sharing your love.
