Girls Rock Columbia is a nonprofit organization that strives to teach girls confidence and empowerment through rocking out in a band. The week-long band camp brings girls from ages 7 to 18 together into bands of four. Each girl is assigned an instrument, which she, most likely, has never played before. The band members get the chance to name their band, write an original song and pen lyrics to go along with the music. At the end of the week, there is a showcase in which each band gets to take the stage and rock out to a packed audience. Though music is key, it's a tool that the organization uses to expose girls to the ideas of independence, body positivity and acceptance. Palmetto Scene got to hang out with the girls and catch a glimpse of what goes into making strangers into band mates. DID YOU LIKE THIS STORY?
