Last summer I co-coached this band with Rachel Rubino. Now, you’ve all heard me talk until I was blue in the face about how indescribably rad and talented the girls who come to rock camp are. Here, though, are the rad girls I was so lucky to watch form The Awkward Turtles over 5 days in August. And while most bands part ways and discontinue after rock camp, The Awkward Turtles have been traveling from near and far to practice every Friday night. What they need now, though, are band coaches. Sure, us rock camp volunteers could pitch in here and there out of the goodness of our music-loving hearts (which we usually do). But how rad would it be to fund band coaches, so that the girls get the support they need, and the hard working band coaches get some small monetary supplement? Every little bit helps, folks. xo, c
