I’m gonna be honest, SoR was great for the first…year or so?
Upon ownership change, all of our “gigs” were delayed far more than I’d deem acceptable, even for “the usual delays that are present in the show business” as described by the new owner.
I was in the Houseband, and in a class for one of my favourite bands of all time. At my last show with them, HouseBand’s set was cut, and we were forced to do a “staff vs students” thing, which at the time, no one enjoyed.
My class however, one that I had poured my SOUL into, was cut more than halfway, due to the owners inability to properly maintaining any sort of time restraints on the other bands. Some bands went WELL over their allotted time, and caused my last show to be a complete nightmare.
Shortly after, my mother was PESTERED for a review, that she was told would go to corporate, I believe.
She left a negative review, as she was upset with the show, and Chris (the owner) begged her to change it, and “offered” to cancel our subscription/membership, upon my mothers refusal.
I had no intentions on leaving this disaster of a program, but my mother is a VERY busy woman, and didn’t see his email.
Turns out, his reviewing software only publishes the highest reviews, and the low ones can be hand picked by him, and sure enough, I bet none of the bad ones are published (not google reviews)
Shortly after, my mother called me to her room, crying her eyes out, to inform me I got kicked out of SoR, despite her telling Chris that she does not want to cancel the membership, as I (her son) was having fun, and learning a lot.
I was completely devastated, and had to spend the next half a year searching for a new place to practice music.
On top of all this, he is making very false statements (in the review below mine) about “verbal abuse”
The reason the member below me was kicked out, was because they did the old “leave a bad review and get kicked out method”
Please, take my advice, and do this method, or just go anywhere else.
The staff is amazing though, props to them…
Just terrible, terrible ownership and management.
