Rock the Rink: A new stage for teen bands in Middle Georgia

Contributed by Christopher Pope

Music Medix, Music Medix After Hours and Gray-8-Skate have joined forces to bring an electrifying new event to the local music scene — Rock the Rink.

This exciting collaboration provides a platform for teen bands to showcase their talent in a high-energy environment, combining live music with the thrill of roller skating.

Rock the Rink is not just another concert; it’s a movement. Designed to give young musicians real performance experience, this event offers local teen bands the chance to take the stage and rock out in front of live audience on a busy night at a local venue.

Whether the group is an up-andcoming rock band, an alternative group, or a fresh new sound looking for exposure, Rock the Rink is the place to be. The intent is to put on this event once a quarter, with March 21 being the first.

Calling All Teen Bands

Music Medix After Hours is currently accepting applications from local teen bands interested in performing at Rock the Rink and other live events throughout Middle Georgia. Anyone looking for opportunities to play in front of an audience can reach out to Music Medix at 478-221-3132 to secure a spot on our performer list.

This collaboration between Music Medix, its nonprofit arm Music Medix After Hours, and Gray-8-Skate highlights a shared mission: to support young people, create community- driven events, and provide safe, engaging experiences for local youth.

Thanks to local incredible sponsors — Dairy Queen, Jarochos Cantina, John Comer and Ignite Martial Arts — this vision is becoming a reality. Their generous support makes it possible to provide teens with unforgettable performance opportunities, fostering confidence, skill, and a passion for music.

Rock the Rink is the perfect event for families, friends, and music lovers of all ages. Everyone is invited to come to skate, listen or support young musicians, and there’s something for everyone.
