The "Rock the Stage" summer camp is in full swing this week at Notre Dame's main campus as participants finished their second day with a performance of a song they wrote themselves. According to Josh Ross, a University of Michigan student and camp director, the campers "literally wrote the song minutes before the performance" at the end of Tuesday's session.
See video below.
The camp, which runs the entire week, focuses on music by artists like Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, Journey, Adele and more. Students learn to sing and/or play in a band and how to interact with an audience. On Friday, the students will put on a concert for parents and family at around 5 p.m.
