Sacred Steel


Sacred Steel
One of the goals of Rocket Stages is to get kids to experience new things outside of their normal day-to-day lives. 
Here is an opportunity to do just that. Two years ago I chanced upon an event that celebrated a religious musical tradition that I knew nothing about called Sacred Steel.
I saw a flyer and decided to attend an event. It turned out to be a remarkable musical experience. A handful of our students also attended and were gladly welcomed.
Please note that this event is sponsored by a religious group and is being held in a church but we are not promoting it as a religious event, but simply as a fascinating look at a subculture and to enjoy some great music.

Here is a piece of video I shot two years ago.
The Friday event is usually the younger up-and-coming bands and then the superstars play on Saturday.
