BandLab gives students the experience of being in a real band. Rehearsing, writing, and performing original music together.
BandLab was built on a simple idea: the best part of learning music is playing it with other people. Students are placed into bands and meet weekly to rehearse, write songs, and prepare for live performance. With a focus on collaboration, creativity, recording, and real-world music skills, BandLab helps students move beyond individual practice and into the experience of being part of a band.

Students prepare for and perform at real events, school concerts, and competitions like Smokefree Rockquest.
Bands get the opportunity to record their music and learn how to take it from an idea to a release.
