Finally, the organization wraps up its month of fundraising with a $5, all ages 2 p.m. show at the Hi-Dive, 7 South Broadway, on October 29. Local acts Cougarpants and In The Third Edition will be performing, along with Girls Rock Denver camper bands from the last three years. "It is going to be a really great afternoon where volunteers and campers reunite, and get a chance to do a mini-version of what the camp does," says Rothery.
An ice cream social at Sweet Action Ice Cream, 52 Broadway, will follow the daytime show from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Currently, Girls Rock Denver operates in a temporary location -- last year's space was the First Unitarian Church at 1400 Lafayette Street -- for the week-long program. Girls ranging in age from 8 to 18 spend the time forming bands, learning instruments and writing songs that culminate into a grand finale showcase. Rothery says that for the organization to have a permanent space would mean its campers could have a place to come and practice any time, keeping young bands going year-round.
