Photos: Orlando Girls Rock Camp Showcase put the spotlight on our future stars

Orlando's Girls Rock Camp Showcase saw lots of bands, some formed only weeks ago, prove that girls really do rock.

Each year, OGRC opens to a new class of female, trans and nonbinary youth ages 8 to 17 and ushers them through a weeklong safe-space session of artistic expression and fellowship guided by mentors, many of whom are distinguished icons of the Orlando music scene.

All of it culminates in a public show, where these glowing young campers get to shine onstage, some for the very first time. It was nearly impossible to keep eyes dry at this illuminating showcase of passion and inspiration.
