COLUMBIA, S.C. A mini-concert at Boyd Plaza on Main Street really rocked the park on Saturday morning.
The organization Girls Rock Columbia ended their week-long camp with a showcase. All week girls, trans youth, and gender non-conforming youth ages 8 to 17 were split into bands and prepared original songs to perform.
Bands named Brainstorm, Deep Dish, Sweet and Sour Core, and more took the stage to rock out with their new skills. We use music and music education as a way to foster independence, self-expression, bravery, Volunteer, organizer, and board co-president for Girls Rock Columbia Logan Cocklin said.
