If you’re a musician or simply a fan of empowering girls in Vermont, and you have some free time this summer to help out, head on over to our volunteer description page to see where your skills can be best put to use! Some positions pay a small stipend for the week of camp.

We’re also looking for an Outreach Coordinator and a Volunteer Coordinator to help us out year-round. Learn more here!

If you missed out on our first Rock Lotto, it’s a unique, collaborative, improvisational, band-in-a-day music extravaganza. 25 musicians meet up at 10AM. We place them randomly into bands. They have that day to come up with a 4-song set, and return to Club Metronome that night to perform. It can get weird, awesome, or become a train wreck. This is all part of the fun!

You do not need to be a female to volunteer, and we welcome volunteers with or without musical abilities.

Check out our various year-round committees here. If you’d like to volunteer, please contact us!

And then, there’s the SHOWCASE at Higher Ground.  You do NOT want to miss this. Vermont’s newest all-girl bands will perform the original songs they wrote during their week at camp. All proceeds go to Girls Rock Vermont. This is the culmination of all the hard work the girls and the volunteers put into the camp.

Rock Lotto is a unique, collaborative, improvisational, band-in-a-day music extravaganza. Here’s how it works: 25 musicians will get together at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 5th. Musicians are divided equally into five categories and tossed into hats: 1) Drummers 2) Lead Vocal (ideally also plays an instrument) 3) Guitar 4) Bass 5) Grab Bag (could be anything from guitar to accordion to tablas to laptop, etc.).

We will draw the lead vocalist names blindly one at a time. Each lead vocalist will then blindly draw one name from the remaining four categories, i.e. the drummer hat, guitar hat, bass hat and grab bag hat. These groups become a band for the day. The five bands then go to their practice spaces and put together a four song, 20 minute set. One of the songs will be a cover song. We will give you a hundred or so cover songs to chose from.

Bands gather back at the Monkey House at 9 p.m. the same day. Musicians will only have to bring their instruments. A backline will be be organized for musicians to use at the Monkey House.

Musicians, this is about the most fun you will ever have playing music. It’s like when you started playing in your dad’s garage. Everything is new and exciting and there are endless possibilities and pitfalls. You will play with other musicians whom you never would find yourself in a room with otherwise. The classically trained violinist can play along side a death metal vocalist and a bluegrass banjo picker. It can get weird, awesome, or become a train wreck. This is all part of the fun.

Musicians of any style or genre are encouraged to participate. Multi-instrumentalists are especially encouraged. The only firm requirement for participation is that you know how to play your main instrument well. And while two musicians from the same real band can participate in Rock Lotto, no individual Rock Lotto band can have two musicians from the same real band. We want to keep it as random and unrehearsed as possible. Other than that there are no rules.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN TAKING PART? GOOD! WE NEED MUSICIANS TO SIGN UP NOW. It’s not easy to get a bunch of random musicians together at 10:00 am. It’s nearly impossible, so we need all the help we can get. This will be fun. I promise. And proceeds from ticket sales will go to Girls Rock Vermont. To get in on the good times, send us an email to sign up or ask questions.

Instrument Drive Details: 
Girls Rock Vermont is entirely volunteer-run and we rely on donations. This is a great opportunity to get rid of old or unused music equipment, and get a tax write-off. We will take instruments and gear in any shape or condition. Although we will accept any rock band-related donations, we are particularly in need of bass guitars, bass amps, drum sets and accessories, microphones/stands, and PAs. Instruments may be brought during the morning meeting of the musicians, or to the show in the evening. See our full wish list here.
