Reveal is for rising 6th grade to 10th grade students.
We focus on three main components of the creative process at Reveal:
Dream – At Reveal, we aim to inspire you to dream. To think outside of the box and to be unique with the art you create. We serve a creative God! The maker of the universe displays His glory and His creativity in the beauty of His creation. We too were creatively & uniquely woven together by God and He has given us the ability to dream or imagine. No matter your art form, whether it be music, art, drama, dance, etc… He created you to be one-of-a-kind.
Collaborate – One of the most important aspects of the creative process is collaboration. When we work together as a team amazing things can be accomplished. Creating as a team isn’t always easy but it’s a wonderful way to stretch your talent and it will often take a dream farther than just you alone could take it. At Reveal, you will work alongside many people your age all striving for the same goal. Though every person has a different skill or talent, you will discover just how valuable it is to create and play as a team.
Create – Creating something new is exciting but can also be challenging. At Reveal, we’re going to give you hands-on experience and training in your area of interest no matter what your skill level is. You’ll learn from talented instructors and professionals how to grow in your instrument or your craft and how to make the most out of practicing or learning something new.

WORKSHOPS
- Worship Band Workshop

- Songwriting with The Dryes
- In this workshop, Derek and Katelyn Drye will be sharing their knowledge on songwriting and what their journey to Nashville was like. “The first time the public got a taste of the country duo was when their first single “Amen” garnered a Rolling Stone Country mention in the “Top 10 Best Country Songs of the week.” CMT covered a spotlight on the music video for their next single “War,” saying “…this duo sings of a love worth fighting for in their latest single ‘War’.” Love finds a way…Sometimes in footage that has been asleep for thirty years. Through family footage and a powerful backstory, the song simply states: “If it’s love then it’s War / it’s worth fighting for.”
