From barristers to psychologists, tradesmen to hubbies at home, baby boomersd (aged loosely between 40-60) are never too old to rock or roll with Weekend Warriors! Ultimately, Weekend Warriors allows participants to recapture their love of playing music in a band and have a ball with their mates in the process. It can give you a new lease on life, reduce stress and help strengthen bonds with your kids who might also play an instrument, so you can jam together. In each workshop round, you select the instrumemt you want to play, all supplied by the local host music store, or become the lead singer/backing vocalists and are placed with other musicians of a similar level. The course runs over four weeks and rehearsals are held for two hours a week. At the end of the four weeks you play a gig in a local club for friends, family, work mates and fellow Warriors. A rehearsal room, equipment, sound, lighting and a music coach are all supplied. Weekend Warriors is a proud initiative of the Australian Music Association's Music Makers program. It's all about getting out there and having fun! The concerts around the country give the proceeds to a local charity.

Weekend Warriors enables lapsed or new, older muso's, the chance to dust off their guitars, bass, drums or clear the voice and recapture the adrenalin of their last 'garage gig'.
