Kids Rock Custer 2026!

Kids Rock Custer (KRC) is supported by the Custer Area Arts Council, a nonprofit 501(c3) organization.  It is a weeklong program for students, specifically those who just completed grades 4 through 7, where participants receive instrument instruction (bass, guitar, keyboards, or percussion), form a band, write an original song, then perform for the community at a showcase at the Custer Beacon!

​

This program is open to students in Custer and surrounding communities.  We strive to provide a supportive community that encourages collaboration, confidence, leadership skills, problem solving, and creative self-expression through hands-on music education and performance.

 

KRC 2026 will be held at Custer High School June 15th-19th from 5:00 til 8:00 pm with a live showcase at the Custer Beacon on Saturday June 20th (time of showcase to be determined).
