It would be appreciated if others didn’t simply rip-off this list and play it track-for-track at your own event. You know who you are.

We rocked pants off!

Administrator — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 19:00:35 +0000

It would seem the 540 who attended Rocktober (incl. 18 staff) had a fantastic time, so much so that we managed to rock someone’s pants off on Saturday night!

The weather cooperated and made for an awesome weekend, we hope everyone enjoyed attending camp as much as we had a good time running it.

If you forgot to check-out of camp and didn’t get your badges, please let us know and we’ll mail them out to you.

We’ll have some info to post and photos to share, so check back here or the RoversBC website soon and throughout the year.

On behalf of the 15th Maquinna Rovers — the sole Rover crew organizing Mardi Gras since 1998 — thanks for attending and we’ll see you at future camps!

One week to go!

Administrator — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 05:08:24 +0000

Are you ready to rock? I said…
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK!?

We’re just one week out and as it stands, the clouds should rain themselves out by next weekend! (Fingers crossed.)

I hope you’ve been polishing up on all-things-rock-n-roll because this year’s Mardi Gras isn’t the School of Rock, it’s the UNIVERSITY OF ROCK! So style the big hair, squeeze into the tight leather pants and tune up your axe because we’re ready to lay down some licks and kick it at full volume.

Don’t worry if you haven’t registered for camp yet – simply bring your registration forms with you to camp and we’ll take care of it them (it’s too late to mail them now). See you Friday!
