ECHO Rockestra Sessions for 2025-26

ECHO offers two 10 week sessions throughout the school year at a cost of $225 per session. A session includes 6 weekly rehearsals with a concert performance. During the sessions, ECHO rehearses from 3-4:30 on Sunday afternoons with a concert following the final rehearsal. Payments can be made via Venmo (@ECHOfoundation) and are due at the first rehearsal of each session. We also ask for parental volunteers during each session. Volunteer opportunities vary per session.
