Student Concert II (October 14, 2006)
Sid’s Chico School Of Rock does it again, thanks to all the brave students! On October 14, 2006 over 40 students played their hearts out at Sid’s 2nd Student Concert. This time we had real lights and smoke machine (thanks to Brett and Audiotherapy) and band dad Dan Goodson as stage manager! What a crew!! From first timers playing classical (Max) to veteran rockers at 15 (Layton and Daulton) we had jazz, heavy metal and folk songs. Since then, Sid’s students the Goodson’s (“Jet Fuel Only”) have went on to National recognition with a spot on PEOPLE MAGAZINE! Thanks to all the parents who lent support, and Jan and the Moxies crew!! Look for the next show, the Chico School Of Rock Concert III on April 18th, 2007…

Student Concert I (April 8, 2006)
The 1st of what will now be a twice annual event, this show ROCKED! We had over 50 students play, and with all the families their were around 200 in attendance! A big huzzah for Jan of Moxies for hosting this one; she’s one of the angels of local music. Each student gets to play for 3 minutes or so, and we had music from Classical Gas to Metallica, from the softest whisper to thunder-loud heavy metal! (Thanks to Mary J, Renay Hill and Dan Goodson for the pics, to Brett & Dan for sound, and all the parents who support their little rock-n-roll monsters!) Note to all students/parents: the Student Concert II is coming right up, Saturday September 30th, so hurry and sign up! (Call 530-894-2526)
