ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Music students took the stage at Buntsy's Band Stand in Webster Sunday night for ROC Star Academy's holiday recital.
"We have bands and lesson students and solo artists which we will be featuring pretty much all night," said Elvio Fernandes, founder of ROC Star Academy.
Fernandez is also part of the Grammy-nominated band Daughtry.
More than 25 singers showcased their talent in front of a supportive audience Sunday night. Academy leaders said they wanted their students to feel like true rock stars.
"I think that - with social media and, just - kids need to feel good about themselves," said Fernandez. "This is a no-brainer. As soon as they start, the crowd gives them the reaction that they need and it's awesome."
