FMG LIVE
Burnout Band
Everything in Burnout is geared towards playing together. Learning how to count in, sticking together as a group and communicating together in real time. This is where the youngest musicians go to perform for the first time with no experience necessary! They build on the skills learned in their private lessons and share it with the world. This is where they get a chance to exercise LOVED. VALUED. CARED FOR.
Once they graduate, they move on to Overdrive.

Overdrive is the first stop after Burnout and is full of potential for every student who crosses that threshold.

Leadership potential is benched marked by the students ability to make those around them feel safe and cared for. The values of LOVED. VALUED. CARED FOR. Are evident parts of how they show up to this group.
