“My daughter who is preparing for an audition had her first session with Deena and stated that she learned more in just one session with her than what she did in her entire 2 weeks of theatrical summer camp. Deena has a very keen ability to precisely develop any child’s singing talent. No words to express my gratitude for giving my daughter the confidence she needed.”

“Deena rocks! PRC rocks! This is a welcoming group of people who love to sing, an amazing high-energy director and a talented band. So grateful I found this group, it’s become an important happy place in my life and an awesome way to start the week!”

“Public Rock Choir makes me laugh, makes me cry, and makes me actually be in the moment. I find going to Public Rock Choir VERY theraputic. All the benefits that I have read about that come with singing your heart out happen here. It’s like one big, happy family. No one judges you. I highly recommend it. Deena is the best. You don’t need to know the words to the songs because she hands out sheets with the words on them.”

“I moved to Bend a few months ago and had targeted PRC before I moved as something I wanted to try. I’ve always wanted to sing with other people and knowing that everyone – no matter ability – was welcome got me over the hump. While it was hard to show up the first time, folks there have been VERY welcoming and it’s so much fun (you should try it just to experience dynamo Deena!) I leave with a full heart every time. If you’re thinking about it, go for it; there is a lot of heart there..”

“The public rock choir has become a family. I’ve been with Deena for more than a year and I can’t tell ya how much fun I’ve had. We’ve done so much; Christmas caroling with kazoos, sang on a float in the parade, sang on stage at summer fest; it’s been so much fun. When I go I just let my hair down; I dance I laugh, and I always have a really good time. Not to mention a beer or two ;) Deena has built a great choir but what she’s really done is bring together a group of really good people. Love you guys.”

“I moved to Bend in August of 2017 and only knew 2 people… a friend suggested that I give this a try as I love to sing and dance and I love it! Deena and her family are truly amazing and make everyone feel welcomed. It doesn’t matter if you sing good or not…it is just about friendship, the music
and singing.”

“I was in a very dark place when a friend of mine invited me to come to PRC in October 2016. I felt out of place as I knew no one, but the atmosphere was very welcoming – I wasn’t sure if this was right for me, wasn’t sure I’d return the following week, but I did – and haven’t stopped since! We come from a myriad of backgrounds, all ages, with or without musical backgrounds, no matter. The ONE REASON we keep coming is for the singing, the fun, the music, the friendships formed! Thank you Deena for creating such a positive and inspiring way for us to ‘sing our face off’.”

Julie Reynolds
“I look so forward to being in this group and singing my face off. No judgment, super safe environment and one heck of a band and our fearless leader Deena. I have made some amazing friends as well, all there for a good time and just having fun. I thank PRC for being.”

“I love to sing (but I’m NO Steven Tyler) and wanted a safe place to sing my heart out. SING BEND has been the high light of my new Bend life!! Our leader, Deena Kamm has amazing energy, leadership and a fun spirit that allows us to all have a fun filled 2 hrs of joy, friendship and music. It is the best way to start of my week and I skip all the way home after each session. I have met some of the nicest and loving people through Choir. Who knew that this group would be part of my new tribe.We also have the coolest band of musicians that play all our music! Don’t think twice about coming….just come and see if it floats your boat, you might be surprised how much fun you have!!”

Dana Hardy
“I’ve been in Rock Choir for about a year now and love it! We have a blast rocking out every week with our fantastic back-up band. What a warm and welcoming group! You do not have to be a great singer! There is no pressure whatsoever. Deena, our fearless leader, tells us anyone can sing and she really means it. She is incredibly encouraging and makes us all feel like family. Come join us. You won’t regret it!

Nina Pfeiffer
“When I moved to Bend in 2016 I wanted to find somewhere to sing in a relaxed, fun environment without tying myself down to a weekly commitment. I was thrilled to find Bend Public Rock Choir which is exactly what I was looking for. I love the type of music we sing, how we are encouraged to “sing our face off” with no judgement and best of all that my fellow choir members have become like family. I encourage anyone that loves to sing to try it!”

Sheila Traum
“This is my second testimonial because it has been a year since my last. This group is about friendship as much as singing! How often do we just get to be in a space of no judgement, and just get to see what our voice can create, while laughing and being part of some of the nicest and welcoming people you wil ever meet. There is nothing to lose and I can’t possibly say enough good things about this experience… try it on!”

Melissa Thayer Fraser
“My kiddos are thoroughly enjoying!!! So much fun!!”

Staci Lajoie DeMarco
“My daughter (Isabella) had her first kid’s rock choir experience this week after practicing the song list for a few weeks. She came home so excited and said “Mom, I totally rocked that! I love the choir and the teacher has the coolest hair!”

Jill Rosell
“Never sang, never thought I would… until I hesitantly went along to Rock Choir… It changed me and now I sing!!! My vulnerability gave way to a feeling of being liberated and empowered. Best thing about it is the great teacher – Deena ( and the talented support musicians) , the great people who stand beside you as you sing and the great feeling you leave with.”

Sheila Friedland-Traum
“We had so much fun singing with everyone last night in Downtown Bend! What great people this attracks. Deena and Chris make everyone so welcome and at ease👏👍😁”

Maebhie Babog
“SO MUCH FUN LAST NIGHT!!! Sang & laughed my heart out. Love what you have created! So much fun, no judgment. Everyone is made to feel welcome and worthy of being there. Cannot say enough great things about Deena & Chris. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
