A new “School of Rock” has struck a chord in Gainesville with the launch party this week of Amped Kids Foundation. “Our mission is to make a positive impact in the lives of children who are in the care of the (Hall-Dawson Court Appointed Special Advocate) organization in Georgia through private music instruction and band scholarships,” Amped founder April Rooks told The Times. “My passion is to give every child the opportunity to pursue their music interests and dreams.”
