What a Year It’s Been!
Thanks to YOU, 2025 was our biggest year yet. We launched our first-ever all-teen music festival, helped send 15 students to Summerfest in Milwaukee and rocked out across the Omaha metro ALL YEAR!
Our Inaugural Festival
Our first-ever Future of Rock Festival brought the community together for an unforgettable day of music at The Granary Green. Young musicians took the stage, families connected, and we proved that Omaha's next generation of rockers are ready to shine.

|---|---|---|
8 Bands Performed | 40+ Teen musicians took the stage | 300+ Attendees |
10+ Hours of live music | $2400+ paid out to bands | $3000+ raised for programming |

This year, School of Rock Omaha was once again selected to travel to Summerfest in Milwaukee where students formed two bands and got to play on some of the biggest stages in the world! Thanks to your support we provided roughly $13,500 in travel and meal assistance to the 15 members of the House Band to ensure every one of them had the chance to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience!!!
